Title: Good Morning!!
Post by: Carleendiane on September 22, 2016, 06:46:24 AM
Good morning forum friends!

Sheep are in pens. Geese running wild. Ducks are waddling around joyfully. Geese and ducks frolicking in their pools. Chickens busy pushing out their eggs. Yup. A good morning indeed. Dog fed. Husband not fed, but out and about. He is going to recording studio to make more music. I don't know what to do with myself, so I am here. There are a million things to do. Too many choices so I do nothing. But that won't do. Pleasant for the moment, but it really is time to do something even if it's wrong. So...again.....Google Morning all!

Sigh, that's me so often. A bunch of stuff needs to be done! I don't know what to do first! Ah ha, sudoku!

Yes Lynne, if you can't decide what to do, play a game. My game is spider sollitare. But I applaud you for playing games. Games are good. The use brain power. Hey, Lynne, does this make us fellow GAMERS?

good morning even though it's 1pm

my son didn't want to go to school he wanted to visit me after begging to go to school all year so we decided to let him have a "fluff day" he says he kind of sort of likes it when I'm in the hospital because there's this great falafel place nearbyand they only go there when I'm at this hospital

Sorry, Carleendiane! I'm not a morning person. Though I wake up with the sun, until I've had at least two cups of tea, all you're likely to get out of me is a low growl.  :D

Good morning , Lynne! Maybe you should split the muffin, reach real hard north and I will virtually grab it. I have a hot coffee right at my side, but no muffin. CO shared an angry orchard with me last night. Oh no, I think I might be a beggar. And not a holy one.

I don't usually eat breakfast these days. Just a snack in the afternoon, dinner, and a snack in the evening lately. Though my aunt did make some excellent double-chocolate muffins yesterday for my birthday. They are literally the best muffins I've ever eaten (and I've eaten a few!). Help yourself.  :)

A heart felt good morning to all. No saccharine here! It's raining and who cares! Still a good morning. OC, I drank some angry orchards yesterday. Good idea about AO. You inspired me to buy some for the wedding. You would not believe the left overs. It was cold, and it seems the order of the day was COLD beer. Go figure. Hot beef rib tips and wings left over. Party at my house tonight! And no, it's not a hoe down, even if it's in my barn.

Chestertonian, we will help you without you having to get out of chair. No we are not specifically wheelchair accessible, but the barn doors are wide and no steps. Unless you want to go to loft. I do not recommend that. What if we drop you?

I like working from home but I wouldn't want to have to do it every day. My job is kind of strange, I have specific tasks to do each month and when those tasks are done, I look for busy work to do (on my computer). Today, I'm in busy work mode.

Good little brother. I can't get to the deep cleaning here. Unless the granddaughters give a hand it doesn't get done. But, a bomb going off is more than just deep cleaning. It is surfacey, too. As long as priest has a chair to sit in he should be fine. I know, you could sweeten the deal with coffee and croisant. He may be hungry. Anyway, morning Ches.

Morning all. Another dreary day. But, who cares. No traumas going on. Peace is being restored in the family, slowly. My nest is almost empty here. I hardly know what to do with myself. What a strange phase of life. But this is the good morning thread. Look at me, I'm turning this into the section on family life. Anyone got a sweet? To go with my coffee?
glad to hear things are looking up

sounds like you've got some grandkids and animals to keep you busy going go PT my son is off school today and he is coming along bringing his new stopwatch because we are training for the national tilt table championship

Ok. What is the tilt table  championship? Or....is this a joke and I'm slow on the uptake?

Very serious fall out between two brothers, affecting others, is now in repair mode. The two actually have gone camping together on Boise Blanc island on Lake Huron. For 5 days. Actually, there are 3 brothers, my sons, camping on the island. I will be praying it will be a time of healing! Thanks for your prayers and kind words, Ches.

Tilt table. Hmmmmmm. Not getting it, but do enjoy your time with you son. Now the stop watch, great idea for a 6 yr. old.

Ok. Kind of like when I bend over to pick something up, I am dizzy and see spots. I can relate. Maybe I could join in the tilt table competition. I can barely turn in a circle without tipping. Just not there yet. Balance still elusive to me. But thanks for the explanation. Should have known.

That's ok. I'm getting used to that. Besides, they're a bit fattening. I'm a bit of a squatty one. Short and well, we'll just say.....mmmmmm.......medium, but could easily slip into pudgy. Besides, My favorite thing in the world is ice cream. If I'm going to consume unneeded calories, I prefer ice cream.

May God bless you on this fine day, my adopted son. I have to go take care of the animals. But not the ram. Sometimes I tease him by bending over, while on the other side of the fence.

Sure thing, Ches. Just subdue his horns with some soft material. Feed him some spiked sweet grain and he can stumble into the rectory and get his blessing. I like it.

Well, I'm slightly below average. In every way! You are obviously up much earlier than I and that's why your muffin is gone even before I get here. Gotta get up really early in the morning to get one over on Lynne. But no matter what I do I'll never be taller than you.

Alright, alright.  Yes it was me.  I was trying to make it so it would be ready for you all when you got up.  I had just about everything done and started to get the water to put in it, when a raccoon came in through the pet door!  I put the coffee pot down, I don't even remember where (obviously we all know where now) and got the broom to chase it out.  That didn't work, so I got the loaf of bread out and tore pieces off and placed them on the floor leading out the door.  It worked but unfortunately I used up all the bread.  Now I had to get to the store to get another loaf so you all could have your toast in the morning.  When I got back, I didn't even think about looking to see if the coffee was doing alright.  I finally crawled into bed and went to sleep.   :-\

You must work nights, Kaese. Good morning, I'm sure there is a coffee beer out there!

Indeed, there is. The first homebrew my husband made was a coffee stout, and it was delicious!   :coffee: :beer:

ETA:  and, good morning!  Is it nap time, yet???

I knew it! About naptime.......ask our resident cat napper, Ches. Good morning munda!

Lydia!! Good morning! So good to have you join in! That picture is so stinking cute! My adopted son, to this day, has hair that grows like that!

Ches. I am the hairdresser for the fam. Women and men. I have to use clippers now because left hand won't be still long enough to hold hair up for scissor cut. So, for now, the girls have to use a hairdresser. Bummer left hand. I love cutting and styling hair. Can't perm or even curl well. These things take two hands. But I can still color hair!

Good morning res rev! Gotta get this bed head into proper shape. Lots of work recycling a shattered hairdo. Cold out but that's better than sweating bullets trying to transform myself. Let's see. I have my Crack filler. Check. My war paint. Check. My deoderizer. Check. My drapes. Check. My brushes. My sprays. Check. All I need is a team to pull it all together. ;D

Sun coming up.  News this morning.  Makes me hopeful for the upset of the status quo. John Rao may just see that as a good thing. Never in a million years did I ever see myself  as a supporter of locker room Trump. I am ashamed of my choices, but more appalled by HRC and Ben ghazi. Dems are claiming victory of course. But so have all the garbage polls. See Bill Still. He is very interesting and non emotional in presentation.

The spin doctors are working overtime to say whatever that will support their phony polls. Unfortunate and clearly offensive are the words they consistently put out there that were vomited from his filthy mouth years ago. Never should have happened, but words and actions. Actions in anot election are more telling than words to me. Ask Broderick or Paula Jones etc. They were treated like crap. By Hillary. Bad mouthed and threatened.  She defended the indefensable. Bill Clinton.

But good morning anyway. You can ignore my politics and rant. We can just share happy talk. Coffee talk.

Day 1:  woke up early, stayed in warm bed.

The principle has been semiachieved.  Now, to just finish the job...  And keep it up!

well i am in thehospital but not for any problem.... have to go every 6 months to be a guinea pig at columbia presbyterian for all these medical tests, going to be 2 days of tests.  participating in a "natural history study" for the type of mitochondrial disorder that i have.  At least it's free and they will compensate me...not much but it's something.  it isn't fun, but i am hoping that someone down the line will be able to benefit from the research, and i'm glad that at least some research is being done even if it's not a lot.

Left over coffee. Ok. It's in your mouth munda. So ok. But mine is fresh of course. Pumpkins. Fun. My daughter grew wonderful pumpkins. Kids had them all over the property. Decorators at heart. Just like their mother! Good Morning everyone!!!!

It WAS a good morning, even after munda said she is drinking *gasp* yesterday's coffee. So St. JEROME on the thread about the movie thread has made me mad. I rarely get mad. But he is annoying me. He used usernames on quotes from the movie thread to make a point. First quote he used was mine....I was warning people to skip " Snowden" because of porno scene in it. Geesh, we don't go to the movies. This was an exception. I called him out for using names. He stubbornly will not only not apologize, he seems to think it fine to do on a public forum. Ok. Get over it. Ok. But St Jerome is being stupid, not making his point, but how he goes about it. Ok. Get over it. Ok.

Morning!  Been up since six, but didn't want to wake anyone that early on a Saturday.  We are taking the kids to visit grandparents for the weekend, so needed an early start. FRESH coffee today, Carleen. Good stuff, too....not cut with chicory.  I save it for the weekends, when husband is home.

one time i was in thisphysical therapy program, and the nurse gave me one of these fentanyl lollipops for pain, this thing that goes up against your cheek.  so i'm just hanging out in this day room area and this guy walks past me and just yanks the thing out of my mouth and runs off i think he thought i was out to lunch but I wasn't,iwent after him. he ended up being escorted out of the building by security.

Hi, all.  :seeya: Just back from Mass and feeling really, really good. Now time to go listen to some St. Teresa of Avila, and later snuggle up under my thick, heavy blankets to read the new biography of Napoleon that I picked up from Amazon's 80% off sale. Maybe start sewing on the new quilt. Who could ask for better?

Your dream was probably exhausting. Had it happen twice, while outside the Church. Terrifying really. And after coming awake. There was an eerie quality to the wakefulness. I could read the clock, but couldn't get up. There was a pressure on me. Scariest thing to happen, scarier than my stroke. At least I knew what that was!

Not since coming back to Church and the Blessed Mother. Daughter had these terrors when young. The terrorizer even gave, within her dreams a key image she could use to stop the dream. This WAS demonic. Poor thing was scared to go to sleep at night. Happened to often to count. When she started saying the family rosary, when we all started, these terrors stopped. Thanks be to God and Our sweet Mother. No more screams during the night.

Could be Ches, but the evil felt was so real. Something like a presence in the room and a very real pressure on my shoulder. A natural effect would be a nice  explanation and maybe it was. I only know what I experienced.

Well, I was going to demand that she defer to my advanced age, but you got me with calories.  I don't think I should take in any more calories even if they are virtual.

Morning!  Kids and I are enjoying bagels and coffee on the porch this morning. It's beautiful outside. 

I've been up for awhile, too, Jayne.  Craziest thing...at about 6:30, I was sound asleep when I heard three, rapid succession knocks on my door. My eyes shot open, and all I could think was, "St. Philomena?!?!"  The kids were all still in bed, and husband had already left for work.  Maybe I was just dreaming, but I was unable to fall back to sleep after that.....

This is why I sleep with a gun.  You never know who's on the other side of that door.  It could be St Philomena, it could be a giant spider named Fred who feeds on people's fears and then their brains.  No, best sleep with a gun and make him come to you.  St Philomena  is just small enough to come through the window if she wants in.   :grin: 8)

I'm curious to see if anyone notices that I "switched" the coffee.  I bought 2lbs of Flavored coffee called 'Two Pounder Port of St. George Caramel Crunch Cafe'.  It sure sounds good and smells one heck of a lot better than that stuff they've been burning for years.  And the bonus is that the proceeds from the coffee go to the Pro Life movement.  They are "The Official Coffee of the People Who Love Life"  The name of the company is Lifeboat.  I can't wait to see the results!  If anyone notices.  Shhhh  :P  8)

These are the people that make OnePeterFive coffee.  It's the best!

I think I'm going to need another cup.  2 year old has decided that every breakfast option is not suitable, but clearly is hangry to the point of being irrational.  I do not understand how this child can be so chubby while surviving on what looks like 50 calories a day.

Well, your brains surely are not turning to mush,  Jayne. Me on the other hand, since my big event, haven't done a thing to broaden my intellect. I used to read voraciously. A book a week. And difficult books too. No fiction. Now my brains are wilting away. Not proud of it. Don't know if it the brain damage or my will.

My husband went to get us a take-out breakfast this morning from Tim Hortons.  It's a Canadian thing, eh?  Anyhow, when he asked how I wanted my coffee, he was surprised that I did not want anything in it.  "Black coffee matters," I explained to him.

(The real reason was that I put in my own chocolate powder and milk.)

I should take a Korean course so I can understand what the ladies at the nail salon are saying to each other.

Or read the signs and packaging when I go to H-Mart.  I was there once with my toddler, and she pooped while sitting in the shopping cart and I didn't have any diapers.  I was happy to see that they had them, so I bought a package along with some wipes.  They said "Size 3" which my daughter was at the time.  SO I buy the diapers and we get to the bathroom, and it turns out they were adult diapers.  Thankfully, the lady at the customer service desk spoke English and she let me exchange them for baby diapers (Which were in a different part of the store) for free

Hahah....he was actually pretty committed to them, until he heard we were having chocolate chip pancakes.  It went downhill from there   ;). I was surprised he remembered them at all this morning, but as soon as he woke up he said, "I need my gwits".  ;D

This reminds me of a "Dr. Phil" segment that I saw on TV years ago, where a mother was worried because her 6-year-old (ish) son constantly imitated a horse in public. When she tried to get him to stop, he said: "But I am a horse!"  ::) So Dr. Phil talked her through how to talk to her son about appropriate times and places to "be" a horse, and said that if that didn't work, clear out his room so that there's just a mattress in it, and tell him that horses didn't have furniture and toys, etc. I thought it was extremely clever.  :thumbsup: Nowadays I shudder to think how some people would deal with that.

Early? Morning?  Huh?

Yawn, I just woke up to scan this thread.

I have a rule to start going to bed at 10PM but it takes me quite a while to finish! (besides I don't always follow my own rules.)  ...  In the early morning my hungry cat provides an alarm clock that I can't ignore. But then, without a husband or children or job to deal with I luxuriate in bed for most of the morning.  Except that  I sure don't feel like I am luxuriating, I really sleep soundly and feel exhausted, even after I do get up.  I even have a 2nd morning alarm but I feel so tired that I've set it late. (If I had kids I'd have to get up anyway like most of you do).

By the way, Jayne, I've been enjoying your spider humor.  I mean, not the spiders, but the humor. You can't beat Carleendiane, but then who can?

I don't know if I will get a chance to post in the morning.  I am at my parents and, while I do have access to a computer and bits of free time, I can't predict when it will happen.

My father spends most of his time in front of the TV watching the classic movie channel.  They are have been doing a horror movie marathon in honour of Halloween.  :vomit:
This is my least favourite kind of movie.

I have been trying to ignore the TV but it is a small apartment, so it's hard. I could tell that the movies were getting to me when I came to shave my father.  As usual, I turned on the lamp in order to see what I'm doing clearly.  However, this time I shouted as I turned it on:  "IT'S A LIGHT!"

I do not wear sweat pants as pjs.  The last time I posted about what I normally wear to bed, somebody really was scandalized.  However, it is probably safe to say that when I am staying at my parents, I wear a nightie.

I do not wear sweat pants as pjs.  The last time I posted about what I normally wear to bed, somebody really was scandalized.

I just can't understand this. I really can't. It reminds me of the joke from FE, where people said that "real trads mow the lawn in a suit and tie." It just seems like such a non-issue.  :shrug:

The person who was scandalized is someone who does not like me who may have been looking for an excuse to find fault.  I've seen other threads in which nobody had any problem with people sleeping  in a way that rhymes with baked.  (If you pronounced it with two syllables.)

Eta: While I think a wide range of sleepwear is acceptable, certain options may be inappropriate for discussion. I have a problem when the talk takes on a "wink wink nudge nudge" tone.

Soooooo, moving right along, lest the winks begin......thank you red, for the snappy good morning. Just like sticking your head in and waving. No words, just a friendly wave. Hey, who made the coffee? I was gonna take my turn and do it, but thanks.

Here's that Swedish tea ring I promised.  I'll warn you all right now that it's got nuts in it, so if anyone is allergic, you'd best stay away.  Also raisins are in there.  If you don't like raisins, you'll not want to eat this.  Have a good morning!

Oh, and pjs for me is one of my Hubby's t-shirts.  I can't deal with my legs being covered under covers, if you know what I mean, and nightgowns just twist up around me and drive me nuts.  So, nice, big, comfy t-shirts FTW!

I guess the only way you could know they are raisins, is by knowing that I wouldn't go near a spider, let alone have people eat them.  Perish the thought!  Ewww gross, ptuey.   :swoon1:

Good morning  :). Stomach virus is gone, thank God!  That was not fun! After only eating a few saltines yesterday, I'll probably ease back into things with just tea and toast this morning, and some chicken soup later.  I hope there are leftovers from Dymphna's breakfast tomorrow for me to try  :). I've never had a Swedish tea ring. 12 year old is down with the virus today, and three year old had it yesterday, too, so we are staying home from Mass today.  Have a great Sunday, everyone!

Get up. Get dressed. Get coffee. Except munda. Have baby. Or a leftover cinnamon roll.

I'm not up, I'm not dressed, and I don't have coffee.....or a baby, or leftover cinnamon rolls (they ate them all!).  But, I do have whatever stomach bug my 7 year old had  :-\.  Luckily, it seems to just be a 24 hour virus, and my husband is home today, so I can bed rest in peace.

I went into labour with my 5th baby while I had the flu.  I was just lying there in the hospital feeling blah, as one does, and sort of having a baby as an afterthought.  I normally have easy labours, but this was so impressive that the nurses on the floor kept coming to peek in at me at my door.  I could hear their awe-filled whispers.  But I didn't care.  About anything.

That sounds really fun  ::). All day yesterday, I kept thinking, "please, God, do not let me go into labor today!"  I'm sure I would've cried.....

I'm envious of all you mothers, because you are sure going to get a shorter purgatory then I am, with all that you go through in this life! (But I'm not that envious...)

I'm sure glad you are feeling better today, MCM.  This is an extra tea ring I made just in case someone didn't get any.  I'll keep a piece back for you.   ;)  Just a few more weeks and I'll have tea rings up the wahzoo since this is what I'm doing for everybody's Christmas gifts.

I do pay attention to where their corpses land because I'm not going to risk stepping on one during my regular treks to the fridge in all hours of the night to get more Dr Pepper.  Besides, Honkey thinks they are quite tasty (particularly the sweet, innocent ones  :rolleyes:  ).  Stupid cat.  But feel free to eat a piece of the tea ring, knowing there is a possibility that it has spiders in it.  hehehe   :ack: 8)

I've woken up in the middle of the night. It's too late for the "go to bed" thread (and they've all gone crazy anyhow.) And it's still too early for the "4 am" thread.  I think I'll set up the coffee with the delay timer and go back to bed.  It should be ready for the rest of you when you turn up.

This reminds me of a story my grandfather used to tell me as an example of how quick thinking can save your life. The Czar was eating his dinner one day when he discovered what looked like a cockroach in his food. He flies into a rage and everybody knows it's going to cost the cook his head. The guards drag the cook before the Czar who thunders "What's this in my food!" The cook replied "Oh it's only a raisin m'Lord" and quickly swallowed it.

/ Ssshhhh, bring your own coffee in a thermos and I'll hide it out in the shed for you.  Pastries could probably fit in your backpack or purse, right?  Don't worry, we'll figure out a way to get Carleendiane to like you.  You don't have any ram training abilities, do you?   ;)

I think dymphna was trying to coax you away from your mentor. She tried to buy you *hmmmmp* . I was just tough loving you. Life is much more than pastries and honey buns. There is unpleasantries. I just wanted you to toughen up, you can't just be a sugar pie. Actually, maybe we have reached a crossroad. If you want dymphna, well...Your choice. I was getting a wee bit possessive.

Good morning, everyone! Chocolate for breakfast, is it?

Yes Stella, dark chocolate. Only the healthy kind for your school girl brain. You may have peanut butter too. Organic, sugar free natural. And a large coffee.

Wait... what...?!  Are you trying to get ISIS to win the war?  Sugar free peanut butter?  Blech!!  :ack:  That is just wrong. 


But isn't that Smucker's All Natural stuff sugar free? That stuff's delicious!

I don't know about a Smucker's kind, just the generic black and white wrapper stuff my Mom used to get when I was a kid and my Dad was in school.  I think it took about 5 years after I started making peanut butter sandwiches for me to know that a piece of bread wasn't supposed to have holes torn into it for sandwiches.  That stuff was crazy hard and tasted like, well, blech!!

 :lol: You do have to stir the Smuckers stuff when you first open it, to make sure all of the oil is incorporated, but it doesn't get hard because you don't have to refrigerate it (assuming you eat it within a couple of months). It's delicious, and I need to buy more tomorrow, since we're going grocery shopping anyway.

Oh, no! I've become a pawn in your palace intrigues. But at the end of a long day I'm in no condition to carefully plot my alliances. Tomorrow morning I'm sitting by whoever has the croissants.

Stella, just don't get all worked up. Bring the croissants and sit with your self until you make your choice. Me or dymphna. Wait. Hold the phone! WAIT A MINUTE, RABBIT.  Lynne can decide this. Besides, she is a more senior member of the forum. Wise. She is wise. We'll probably have to cut you in half. But, it worked for Solomon. Healthy peanut butter must have salt in it or it is crap.I can say crap.

Wait....you don't have to refrigerate it?! Shoot!  I've been doing it wrong all this time  :-\. It's so good after the first mixing, but gets more and more impossible to spread as you use it, when refrigerated.  I'll try keeping it out when I open the next jar! 

I've heard a small immulsifucation blender works well to mix it, but I don't have one.  It's on my wish list  :)

C'mon, Stella....croissants are in the oven, and coffee pot is percolating.  Well, it's canned crescent rolls, but you do what you gotta do sometimes  ;). Coffee is fresh, bough.  Coffee and croissants on the back porch today....it's nice and cool out, like fall should be.  A nice treat for us southerners.  After that, we will hit the books and study until lunch time, so be sure to bring your language studies materials, too, if you like. The kids won't be too loud, I promise.    :lol:

We live a few houses down from a beautiful little church, but it's novus ordo.  We've come to know the young pastor since he's our neighbor - his orthodoxy another topic for another day, but he's one of the young guard who are attempting to steer the ship back toward reverence.  Not the thread to get into this, but I just wanted to paint the picture a little.

ANYhooo,  b/c our TLM is quite a distance, I'll try to go to the weekday morning Mass here.
( Sidebar:  I know, I know, I'm calling down heaps of criticism upon my head, but I've come a long way in studying the crisis and now comfortable with my conscience)

One of his sermons recently addressed the "Heroic Minute", the first battle of the day - just as you describe above Carleendiane.  I chatted with him after Mass about it.  He said it was conveyed to him as a teaching of Opus Dei <yikes>, but no sense throwing out the baby with the bath water.

Fwiw, I love this and the Go to Bed thread!  Lurk like crazy.

Back to my now cooling coffee....

That's for sure Munda. Now go to the hospital and get it done. Here we are discussing rolls, sweet buns, croissants, don't you think it's time to get the bun out of the oven? Maybe switch from coffee to wine.

Well I'm vertical and have been for ages, but I wouldn't describe it as "up" exactly.  I had my baby grand-daughter staying the night again and am recreating new parent zombie state.  It's like riding a bicycle.

My son has just come by to take her back so I could theoretically start getting things done now. I am not placing high odds on it though.

It's definitely time!  I thought last night might've been "it". I wasn't feeling well, but baby girl is taking her sweet time.  Oh well....it's ok.  It'll make for a relatively easier labor and recovery that way.

Stella, Munda is not in any condition to serve you. Think about it. Now me on the other hand, though I do list to the left a bit, I can take care of you. Did you brush your teeth? Coffee always tastes best with clean teeth.

Sorry, Carleendiane. Munda gets me. She knows what makes me tick - croissants. All you've got for me is toothpaste and tough love. No, thanks.

Now if only the men would fight over me like this!  :D

Ok, I was holding back my trump card. I can put you out for bidding. Bernadette can help with this. Now that is just plain love!

Wait, what? How did I get roped into this?!  :o

I don't know how to go about it BUT YOU DO. You are the queen of ebay. Please bernadette. Don't get all scrupulous on me!

That was absolutely beautiful, Ches.  Proof that music can lift the soul to God.  I'll keep your friend in my prayers this month and for you to have a successful surgery.

Maybe a nice relaxing cup of tea, while sitting in your favorite chair with your feet up, watching the ducks and geese play outside your window, and some good music softly playing in the background will be beneficial.  Think about all the choirs of Angels singing before the throne of God making Baby Jesus squeal with delight as He sits in His Mother's lap.  Or perhaps the thought of the mercy of God being given to the Holy Souls today and how much they must love any part you take in that.  Take a load off, m'lady.  It will be alright.   :grouphug:  8)

Only thing I"m baking today is chicken pot pie, so if you can wait until dinner time....

Savory pies are my favorite!  I don't make them often, because everyone else here aren't that crazy about them.  It's not worth the hassle to do it too often, but I sure enjoy it when I do!  Hope yours came out good.

Good morning, PerEvangelicaDicta and everyone.

"Isn't that one of the signs of the Apocalypse?" I responded.

About I spy. CHES DONT LET HIM CHEAT! Kids just may change what they had in mind when you guess it correctly. They will sometimes tell you it was something else of a red color. Their eyes get all shifty so they can light on something else of the color they called.

When working with my therapist, I have to lay on a table and he tells me to roll over only using abdominal muscles while he applies pressure against my roll, making it quite difficult. Well sometimes I have to admit to him I am cheating by also using my feet. Therapist always says " You're not cheating! You're just trying REALLY hard." I always laugh.

The joke about Credence was just good fun. I have invited him to join us for coffee. I think he may think it's just a hen cackling party. It would be fun to get both Credence and Jerome in here. Loosen them up with a touch of Baileys in their coffee!!!

I love cats. They can be so cute the way they own the place they live. Your cat could be a writer. Or artist. Who knows? A little finger paint and a piece of artist paper. You know.....that could be lucrative. Problem is getting a cat to cooperate.

Good to see you Eve. It's almost noon. Some one needs to start an afternoon thread. Don't quite know what we can serve our guests. Probably soup and sandwhiches. Easy to adapt to our meatless meals.

Ahhhh. Youth. You are refreshing young at heart Dymphna, my friend. CCR was kinda what I had in mind for RSC. RR just stands for rock n roll. Now, I'm getting better at rolling, but need to work on rocking. But you should see me shake! I can shake just my left side if I want. Even when I don't want, it shakes. Yes we need to get Credence in here. Like I said earlier, maybe some bailey's in his coffe.

I like my nickname of Jayners very much, so it wouldn't surprise me if he would like one too.  However, I think that "Credenza" would make a better one.  That is a lovely word (not to mention useful piece of furniture) and it ought to be used more.

That might sound too feminine.  :shrug:

Good point.  Or it might sound like he needs dusting.  I think I let my fondness for the word overcome my judgment.

Jayne, I notice you didn't just stick it in the spider thread. But here you are mucking up my thread with random. I though we were a disciplined thread. Wait is this the morning or bed time thread?? Please help me. I am lost.Please point me in the way I should go. Jayne, where am i? I don't know whether to eat toast or drink wine! And just joking about mucking up my thread. I am actually just borrowing space on the forum. I should thank you Jayne. You have become a contributor on this morning or bedtime thread. Did I mention I'm lost?

Heinrich, just once. One little visit here and you will have such a good day. Just dropped off some baclava  to go with coffee. It's virtually fat free. Full of protein and helps with lifting weights in the morning. Who is that cute little guy in your avatar? Is that you Heinrich? If so, I also have a bottle of milk in the fridge. Grab it and eat your baclava.

You don't need to go to school.  I can explain.  Observe the picture:

At the left, we see baklava.  In the middle is a balaclava.  At the right is a baklava balaclava.  (These are fairly rare so you can ignore this if you would prefer.)

And below is a picture of a balalaika.

One of our family jokes is to always use the wrong word whenever we are talking about one of these.  So I guess I'm just feeling so comfortable with you that I was treating you like family.

In Canada we wear toques. This is the national headcovering and is appropriate for all places during the months from December to March.   Most of the balaclavas here are convertible ones that can be switched to toque mode, either for weather conditions or bursts of patriotic fervour. Another reason to toque it up would be church attendance, a toque being a proper headcovering for Mass while a balaclava is not.

An old priest once said to me, holding up a toque: "What do you call this?" I think he'd heard "beanie" and "toboggan." I, however, influenced by my Canadian cousin and my uncle's years living in Canada, said: "That's a toque." He'd never heard that one before.  :lol:

I forgot to say good morning in my last post. I think it's morning. I feel like it's morning. I can't trust any of the clocks. Some of them change automatically and others do not. Even when I'm home I can never remember which is which and it's worse here at my parents. I'm not expecting any help from them. They probably don't even know what day it is.

I want my husband. He always knows these things. I must add this to my list of reasons why I'm glad I married him.

If I don't have time to post all my good mornings, " GOODS MORNING ALL" Just want to invite you to share some constructive criiticism about how I am doing running this thread. Like do I talk enough....too much? Whatever is on your mind. I can take it. Just don't get all snarkey with me. Do I do that to you? No. Then just shut your mouth and go back to bed. I'll have some scorched coffee for yas when you finally decide to drag your worthless butts out of bed. But i digressl... feel free to pm me. I'm really very open minded.

I think you need to play "hard to get" with this thread. You keep acting like just anybody could post here. What you need to do is be snobby and exclusive. It seems like you are a naturally friendly person so you may find this difficult but I could give you some pointers. I am remarkably good at being haughty and supercillious.

Instead of inviting people to join the thread, you must make it clear that hardly anybody is good enough to post to it. Limit times when you accept new members. Don't give in to flattery from prospective members but hint that you will accept bribes. The goal is that people are begging to post to the thread.

Are you sure you have that right?  It is pretty hard to tell baklava and balaclava apart.  Not to mention balalaika.  :confused:
u in Canada would a balaclava count as a proper headcpvering for mass

In Canada we wear toques. This is the national headcovering and is appropriate for all places during the months from December to March.   Most of the balaclavas here are convertible ones that can be switched to toque mode, either for weather conditions or bursts of patriotic fervour. Another reason to toque it up would be church attendance, a toque being a proper headcovering for Mass while a balaclava is not.
Ever been one toque over the line?

This typically happens to Canadians when we are young and have not yet learned to handle our beer. Fortunately we normally get this straightened out in kindergarten. Dealing with this is one of the main resposibilities of kindergarten teachers which is why the profession is so highly respected here. You can always impress a Canadian by saying you are a kindergarten teacher.

If I am too eager for new members they will not come. I can put  out there that there is an exhorbitantl charge for joining this thread which I may consider waiving for some desireables.

You got into the good morning thread for free. Under the grandfather clause, I cannot charge you now. The charge now is meant to draw new members to the morning club. If they think I'm just a cheap trick, they won't come. But if they actually invest in the thread (pay fee). They will not only come, but see the thread does not wane. You see?

A toque looks like this:

(https://www.suscipedomine.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fthewanderingrose.net%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F05%2Ftoque.jpg&hash=5ac09057ffb904ea2f53f076827998827c073b79)

The word "Canada" being written on it is optional when a genuine Canadian wears it.  The word "toque" may also be spelled "tuque" or "touque".  That thing we do with u gets really crazy in this word.

That definition that Dymphna found is all wrong.  It looks like the work of CSD (Canadian Stategic Disinformation).  Because of the constant danger of infiltration by Americans, we need to do this.  You can't even take everything that I say about Canada seriously.  My old CAF training kicks in.  But I rest easier at night knowing that any American trying to imitate a Canadian based on my posts will be immediately identified and apprehended.

CSD is one of the top military strategies that Canada depends on, along with the secret army (the one people know about is merely for creating a false sense of security in our enemies) and the trained polar bears.  We all do our bit to keep our country safe.

Free is fine for the poor, like you and i. But the high class like a joining fee more than free. Kinda like a club fee. It would make them happy to talk about the exhorbitant, fee they paid to be part of this thread. OH! You asked what IS the fee? Gonna have to run that by Kaese. Still working out the details. But I will say this. It's gonna be YUGE!

I'm not sure if it's morning any more (darn time change) but this can't wait.  I can see how anxious everyone is about whether I'll get in trouble for revealing the existence of the secret Canadian army, so I want to relieve your fears ASAP.

(https://www.suscipedomine.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmallengines.ca%2Fimg%2Fmapofcanada.jpg&hash=5abae9663ff9043e940560aa12e510f45fea2afe)

I need to give some background information on Canadian geography.  Canadians live in 3 cities, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, and a long line of houses built along the 49th parallel.  We have some eastern provinces, but nobody actually lives there.  They just commute in to run tourist attractions.  There is also Newfoundland, but that is just made up.  Obviously a province wouldn't really join Canada in 1949.  It was just a Cold War stunt, like the moon landing.

If you ever meet someone who claims to be from Newfoundland, that is just an actor.  They identify gifted children and put them in a special school to give them years of training to do this.  It is sort of like ballet school but with newfieness instead of ballet. Because of this,  the word "Newfie" may used figuratively to mean any highly intelligent and skilled person.  If a Canadian ever calls you a Newfie, you should be very flattered.

The point is that most of Canada is uninhabited and that is where the secret army is hidden. So it doesn't matter if people know about it because they'll never find it.

Ok. This could possibly be a problem. We could ask Matin for his take. He wears underpants. Not boxers. Underpants.

WAIT A MINUTE, RABBIT....Let's ask Louis. Seriously. We should ask Michael Wilson or Clarence C. If they decline giving an opinion. We ask Kaese. If he ducks his forum resposibility, then, and only then, we ask Jerome.

Upon further cogitation, I may have a solution. Now, let me get it out before you all erupt in applause. Ok. Ready? Ches, you chewing gum? Don't stick it under the table. My gut feeling about this sensitive topic.....yes I have to go with my gut...is.....a SUBFORUM! Men in their underwear have to go to the subforum until they put their pants on.

Women, not allowed. We will have a cheap ccoffee pot in there and day old pastries. Can't make it too comfy. You'll never come out. With coffee and pastry, we will have inspiring talks about proper attire. Won't be long and you guys will be coming to the coffee pot, already dressed and ready for the day. Yes, there may be a few small details to work out, but there you have it. A subforum.

What'cha think? Please don't hold back. Put it on the table and I will give your suggestions some thought and get back to you.

Couple of things:

1. 
QuoteIf a Canadian ever calls you a Newfie, you should be very flattered.
Priceless, Jayne.
The first time I met my not so nice non Catholic MIL, visiting her in TO, I overheard her telling her sister that I was a "Yankee Newfie" after my purse was stolen at the East York Mall.  And that was the highlight of our relationship  :o

2.  I believe Jerome will prefer the civility of this thread vs. a sans-pants subforum  :P

Red, Ches, Martin. Come here in your underwear. I am making much ado about nothing. Forgive me. Sometimes I forget. This is all Virtual. Nothing matters. The beauty of a virtual cafe. Why sully it with rules and regs. I have seen the light. There will be NO subforum. None. Come as you are I say.

I'm not sure if it's morning any more (darn time change) but this can't wait.  I can see how anxious everyone is about whether I'll get in trouble for revealing the existence of the secret Canadian army, so I want to relieve your fears ASAP.

(https://www.suscipedomine.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmallengines.ca%2Fimg%2Fmapofcanada.jpg&hash=5abae9663ff9043e940560aa12e510f45fea2afe)

I need to give some background information on Canadian geography.  Canadians live in 3 cities, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, and a long line of houses built along the 49th parallel.  We have some eastern provinces, but nobody actually lives there.  They just commute in to run tourist attractions.  There is also Newfoundland, but that is just made up.  Obviously a province wouldn't really join Canada in 1949.  It was just a Cold War stunt, like the moon landing.

If you ever meet someone who claims to be from Newfoundland, that is just an actor.  They identify gifted children and put them in a special school to give them years of training to do this.  It is sort of like ballet school but with newfieness instead of ballet. Because of this,  the word "Newfie" may used figuratively to mean any highly intelligent and skilled person.  If a Canadian ever calls you a Newfie, you should be very flattered.

The point is that most of Canada is uninhabited and that is where the secret army is hidden. So it doesn't matter if people know about it because they'll never find it.

I'm bored,Jayne. Too many words.

You should make your rules while high on Novacain.  Then they would be much more fun.   ;)

Carleen....helllooo. Where are you?Come out come out wherever you are! Don't be afraid we just want to know if you are alright. maybe the dentist gave you a stronger dose of Novocaine or maybe he pricked you too many times. Drink lots of water ; breath in and out. I usual feel sleepy after Novacaine although I prefer carbocaine as it doesn't contain epinephrine. Occasionally epi. makes you heart race.  ;)

it's possible I may just stay in this and the Go to Bed thread all the time.  Hilarious.
(edit:  and the 4AM thread )

So Martin, is that why I started having heart palps with novocaine a few years ago?!  There's epinephrine in it?  It's like a full blown panic attack for about 10 min. Thank you so much for the info. 

Quote:o At what point do you just decide to go with false teeth?  :lol:

Meanwhile.... yoooo whooooo.... Carleendiane.... where are you? 

I'll probably be gone when you finally log in, so here's prayer for your dental recovery, and a hug.

I'm b*a*c*k. Dymphna, this is somewhat scandalous. I've never been high on novocaine. Some may think the ONLY reason I go to the dentist is to get high. You must dispel this myth. Can I really get high on novocaine? Really high? Not that I'm interested at all. But yes, I went back at 3 and he did my work without novocaine So there. Plus had to go back on antibiotics. Do antibiotics....Oh forget it. Anyway, Martin thanks for the info. And checking up on me. I do get lost sometimes, but, never in my cornfields.

So, i leave for a bit and every thing falls apart on me. Red, get over it. Don't leave in a huff. If you really want a sub forum ask Kaese, he's the bossman. Martin, don't be such a worry wart, it's not very attractive. Per, if you want to camp out here you need a permit. Dymphna, ya ever heard of slander. Don't cast shadows on my good enough name. Does novocaine really...? Bernadette.....don't make Martin self conscious about his rotten teeth. There now, I miss anyone?

Yeah, I think if the dentist missed the goal and stuck you in the temple, novacaine to the brain might get you a little high.  Laughing Gas would make it easier though.  Maybe from now on we bring the dentist to you, so things don't fall apart around here.  I'm mean, it's 8:20 PM and I'm posting in the Good Morning! thread!!!   :madsmiley:  It's anarchy, I tell ya!!

Whoa, maybe I'm the one who got novacaine to the brain!  I think I need a nap or something.  I'll just make this an early Good Morning!

On second thought, it's not just the lack of pipe and beard.  I am shorter and chubbier than Gandalf.  I wear glasses.  I have short curly hair.  I don't carry a staff.  And I'm female.  I may not succeed in pulling off this look.

Cleaning does help. Wish I would have just cleaned. One wine too many.Used to clean, now it is so much harder for me. I just do what's easy now, I am ashamed to admit. Bernadette, you are a blessing to your aunt. Glad the two of you get along better than before. And.....even if we can't share a drink we can share a cup. Cheers.

Do we have a Senate majority? Congress? Saw some very sad faces on line. I truly believe the only way Hillary got the popular vote was by dead and aliens voting.

That's what I hear:  Presidency, House, Senate

Dear Dymphna,

I've been here all along. It's just that you didn't see me. Your thread has been bumping. You are a joy to the people here. You are in demand. Because you are smart and young and beautiful, plus an angel. Being an angel must keep you hopping. Lots of souls to direct here. Lots of protection needed. We are a vulnerable bunch here.

It's true, I've been gone alot. At least, everyday someone gets the pot on, or the Iv going. I think between you and i, we've got our people cared for. So, though from time to time I am mia, a healthy thread should carry on. Don't you think? Now that politics will wane as star of the conversation, maybe we should talk pants. Or movies. Thanks for checking up on me. I have been dragging butt. No matter how much caffeine, I am still dragging. Maybe you could infect me with some of your Energy. Having a few problems here, but I am hopeful.

Sorry, not everyone gets coffee and a flower. Jayne would be running all over the world. She is just one woman. Super powered woman for sure, but still just one. If everyone would pick just one friend to bring coffee to, then 50% of our people could have coffee in bed. Munda deserves coffee in bed. HOWS THAT LITTLE GIRL, MUNDA? Ches deserves the best picture of steaming hot coffee and perfect flower we can find for him. Martin, just stay in bed. Well bring you your coffee! Really. Just stay put. Do not kick off those blankets. Here. Drink it.

Bernadette a perfect breakfast, since we are all just renting space here. Most appropriate. Noticed Dymphna, RSC, Ches, lynne, and others, Louis, Heinrich, Kaese, Clarence, Jerome, Daniel, and yet more, didn't even stick their heads in this morning. We'really losing steam folks. What is the problem? Is it me?

Just want to thank our regulars....MLG, Bernadette, Martin, Ches, Dymphna, RSC, Munda, and many more. So many more. Wonderful people, wonderful people all across America and beyond. Thank you for your selfless, untiring, cheerful good mornings. Lets MAGA, starting each day with coffee and Continental breakfast, thanks Bernadette. If not for you all, and you know who you are, we would be at 2 pages. Unthinkable.

We are closed for the day. Coffee cold. Drink up and get outta here. Unless you want to stay. Put another pot on, Jayne. Officially open again.

Sorry about the protocol breach, but I just woke up after crashing hard last night (finally!), and I woke up to find this.  Not sure how I missed it before, but I did.  First, I want to tell you how much I admire your quick wit, kindness, ability to just have fun (I'm learning, thanks to you), and your ability to put people at ease.  I'm going through what is probably one of the hardest and scariest times of my life right now, and you seriously help me to not cover my head and not come out every day.  Every time I see that Struggle Bus, I'm encouraged to get up and start trying yet again.  Even though it's for the 15,000th time.  I'm not saying these things to puff you up or embarrass you, I say them because it's true.  Every once in a while God brings someone special to your door, I thank Him for giving me sense enough to answer this time.

That appreciation goes for alot of people here as well, which is why I didn't just make this a PM to Carleen.  Each one of you have been special to me in your own way and I do thank God for bringing you to my "door".  Now, next week I may blow it all and hate the whole lot of you, but for right now, I'm humbled and grateful to have you as part of my life.   8)

Dymphna, I may cry, but I can't because the men would not respect me in the morning. Nope no tears. But if I have a heart attack or stroke you'll know why, my friend. So you, me and everyone here, is going through tough times. Don't you have that raggedy pouch anymore? You know.... your dust or what ever it is you dump on us to make us happy and contented? It's a bit sparkly which explains why the men duck the dust. Doesn't it come in a matte formula?

Anyway, your joy is my joyl your laughter is sweet and makes me laugh. O we all need each other. And we all need to laugh.No matter what kind of crap we step in everyvday. Just clean it up and try to ignore the smell.Crap is an ongoing effect in this vale of tears. But that doesn't mean we have to show every one our shoes.

Dymphna, be very careful around me. No compliments please. I may just pull them out later and think about them. Not good. Just keep me wondering. Keep me anxious about whether I am running a good cafe here. If people leave with a smile, things are doing well here. Don't care if we are 5 star, just 4 stars. I'd be OK with that. I do wish we had more time together than just crossing each others path. Ships passing in the night. But I've got to say that God knows what He is doing. If we had more time together we just might have too much fun. In a bad way. You'd be flame throwing to help me find my way in my world. And so much more. We wouldn't mean to get in trouble, but we just might.Jubilate would always be baking, Jayne spinning, Lynne could even get in trouble if in real life we could visit each other. Munda, good mother that she is, may take us up on babysitting offers and start skipping school to go shopping. And on and on. You get my point. We are in this virtual world because real socializing may not bring out the best in us.

So we get snippets of pleasure this way. Consolations, if you will. If this is "hard and scarey" today, or for now, then it is pure joy for me to help you through it, angel. Just as you would do for others. Please, be at peace, rest in God's arms, and let him support you through your friends here. Right here in Sucipe. Eve, Non nobis, Martin, et al, are here for you or anyone who finds themselves in dire straights.

Turning into a blathering idiot. For give me friends. Wishing everyone a shower of blessings for your efforts to please ourLord.

Already planned it Jayne. This has been first and foremost on my mind. Why do you think I've been gone so much? Shopping for you. You didn't give me the chance to surprise you!

About the fireworks venue, you might need a back-up location.  If they find out about my lack of enthusiasm for Pope Francis things may become a bit awkward.

Get out from under the chair. That's Bernadette's chair anyway. Besides....you are far from a scaredycat. Just a tiny teeny weeny correction does not change you. You are a brave, tough, poster. The chair does nothing for you. Looks funny on you. Again, keep your nose out of this. Stay focused on other things. There will be no thrill for you, otherwise.

Awww, bummer  :(. Maybe you can come and hang before they start. After that, you can babysit my three year old.  She can't do fireworks, either.  She is a great conversationalist....you'll have a great time with her.  Ironically, her birthday is on New Year's Eve....poor kid

This sounds exciting!  I like fireworks (but my cat doesn't, and a lot of dogs, cats and people; better make more room under that chair). 

I'm going to say the day after Christmas; probably sooner but I like that date.

(Since this is SECRET of course she won't thank this post, right?)

Bernadette and perhaps others need cream for that.   This should be enough for everybody:

Sorry my morning friends. I slept til 830. So ashamed. But you, my good people covered my butt.

Jayne, you are making your self indespensable. Jayne.......you looking at taking over my thread? Jayne, just put it out there. Maybe we need to vote. You ARE much more efficient. Yes, true! But I like to think I have the pulse of the Morning people. Maybe you do. If you press me. If you do want to usurp my place in the hearts of the morning people, I will fight you...just sayin.

So come everyone! We have made our first wood fire of the season! Can you smell it. Well it reminds me of church inscence. Makes me happy. The fire is ripping and we have many many chairs. Come and warm yourself. Woke up to 28 degrees. Went to give animals water and the hose was frozen. Just have to wait a few hours and it will be flowing. My fire is not puny but efficient, it is big, bodacious and inviting. Some people don't know how to fill an auditorium.

Jayne, truth be told, I'm afraid you really could replace me. You bring in classy pictures and class period. I bring chapped hands, ratty napkins, and brain damage. Maybe it's time to drain the swamp. But I do thank the gracious people of the morning club..Really, my deficits are barely made fun of here. What a blessing you guys and gals have been to me.

Bernadette, Jayne put out some yummy cream, Munda, happy to see you. Red bought a huge jug of Baileys, guaranteed to build your milk supply. Martin, your pants are on the floor. Right by the bed. Get moving, son. DYMPHNA.......o, sorry, you need your sleep Carry on. Lynne, I know you are up and productive. I just know it. Kaese, haven't noticed you moving around.

No church, as I'm monitoring my aunt's throat and didn't want to be out of the house in case something went south. And trying to convince her not to dodge out of her ENT appointment, since they don't accept her insurance (Obamacare). We know from past experience that the steroid shot will wear off in 2-3 days, and then the swelling will recommence. Just in time to go see the doc. ;)

Post by: Jayne on November 15, 2016, 06:02:31 AM
I notice some discussion of kugel has been going on after I go to bed.  As I understand it, kugel is a Yiddish word that means "pudding".  So there can be noodle kugel or potato kugel.  Perhaps others.  The Lithuanian cognate kugelis, however, refers only to a potato dish in my experience.

Noodle kugel can be sweet or savoury.  It is often served as a side dish with meat meals, in which case it is not made with milk.  Here is the list of ingredients for such a kugel:

1 pound medium wide egg noodles
1/4 cup canola oil
8 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 cups applesauce
4 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup golden raisins (optional)
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced small (optional)

A dairy kugel might include cottage cheese.  A savoury version of this is probably closer to macaroni and cheese than to bread pudding.



As always, no matter what ethnicity of cuisine is involved, make sure your raisins are really raisins.

Edited to add:
I just saw in the prayer forum just how badly banged up you are, Carleen.  I'm probably going to be hitting my 10,000th post in the next day or two and I can't imagine you will be up to running a party by that time.  I'll understand if you postpone it until you are feeling better.  You could even wait until Chestertonian does his and do a combined celebration.  That might even be more fun.

Nobody would have realized who it was, CD, if you had just kept quiet about it. 

You need to learn some of my spider secretiveness.  Just watch how I do it.  Remember, always hold something back.

Good morning, everybody.  I found something special for us this morning.

Thanks Ches, it can only go up.Really looking up. Thanks for all your encouragement. Hope your day goes well Ches. I actually have more therapy now. I get 6 visits more. They  give me 6 visits at a time with an evaluation between the sets of six visits. But to get the OK for the next 6 visits I have to wait about a week for authorization. So it's like 6 visits, one week off then 6 visits 1 week off etc. So far they've not rejected my requests. How about you? Have you started your 3 hr. sessions.

Ok. Its 11 and I am losing patience. GET UP PEOPLE! Do you need help? I will send my dog in to repeatedly drop his bone on the wooden floor and cry because you have not petted him yet. Or I could send my hubby in to play his harmonica so my dog can sing with the music. Dog sings very well, but loudly, which could annoy you enough to throw him out of the room. Just try throwing my husband out! He's still a very powerful man. You'd do wisely to just get up and get your coffee!

You are so right,Ches. My dog delights everyone that comes over. He is witty, smart, sorta, loving to a fault, non-needy, and a perfect companion. He is therapy and entertainment all wrapped up in a beautiful silky coat. That's my dog. The only sadness he brings is in knowing he will only be with us for a doggy lifetime. Then what?

Yes it is Saturday.  And I KNOW it is Saturday. Yesterday was Friday

A couple of weeks ago I had the strange experience of THINKING it was Saturday almost all day on Friday.  I did my Saturday grocery shopping, and made my Saturday night call to my sister; but she wasn't there, so I left a message.  I then sat down at the computer.... OH MY GOSH - It's Friday! I left another message with my sister, explaining my confusion, and telling her I would call again on Saturday!! (Again!)  Then I consciously knew it was Friday, but subconsciously was stuck on Saturday and had meat for supper.

Disconcerting, but so funny. Never happened before for (almost) an entire day; but possible because I live alone and have mostly uneventful days. I don't know why I didn't pick it up on the radio...

In general my memory isn't too great (with aging) but this was exceptional!

Happy Saturday everyone!

I'm so sorry you feel so bad.  I've had some occasional bothersome digestive problems over the last few weeks (even missed Mass once), but no pain.  No baby for me.

Yes. Seems to be prolonged. But had this before. Lasts much longer than the normal. 3 day stomach virus. So, if I may complain, my cracked rib is making it hard to be comfortable. How long does the noro virus last? Thanks for caring Jayne.

It occurs to me that the high sugar content of my "good morning" post this morning may be related to CD's complaint about lack of male presence in this thread.  Just in case, I am posting something very manly to counteract it.

Hi, Red. How true. A manly presence may not happen unless we keep the sweetness to a minimum. Do we offer donuts or steaks for the men. Steaks, right?

Speaking of Captain America:  my husband and I were just laughing the other day remembering Halloween a couple of years ago when our (now) 6 year-old came out ready for trick-or-treating unexpectedly dressed in a hot dog suit and wielding his Captain America shield.  (He was supposed to be Captain America in toto, but apparently had second thoughts right at the end).  LOL.  You know, come to think of it, I suppose Captain America is a bit of a hot dog.

I mean, I brought Captain America to the thread this morning, calling all the soldiers to rise and shine.  If they disobey The Captain, that's on them.

My usual search techniques did not turn up a picture for ontologically good morning.  This is not surprising.  This was the closest I could find:

Good morning  I have to whisper, because I've lost my voice. This should make for an interesting holiday. No matter, I've just made a pot of Irish breakfast tea. That should put me right soon enough. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

I am most thankful for 2 things.  1. For all of you.  A virtual bunch of people that, like me, are striving to live virtuous lives in order to save our souls, for the greater glory of God.  2. Memories.  When you think about it, God didn't have to give us memories.  He could have separated emotional memory from the ones that teach us everything from math lessons to don't steal.  While I wish there was a way to only remember the good times, that's not how He set it up.  But those are the ones we can concentrate on.  So I'm thankful for memories and the ability to make new ones.

Happy Thanksgiving!  Went to Mass and prayed for you all here on the forum, and for the respose of the souls of your lost loved ones.  On our way to my sister's now, coffee and knitting in tow.

I got to Mass today, too (and more prayers for those on Suscipe).  I'm waiting for my brother to pick me up and we are off to Thanksgiving dinner.

I too am grateful for memories. Funny how when we get older, we become forgetful, but it seems our long ago pleasant memories are the last to go! Thanks Dymphna.

Well, I may be a work in progress, but at least I'm workin. A day off? I have too many days off since my stroke. Days off that I still have to work. I have therapy, that's work. I have to clean, cook and do laundry. I have to control my appetites. Now, that's work. I have to keep proper thoughts in this stupid head of mine. I should try to deep clean today. That's work. But my work is actually just my duty. So my duty IS my job. Actually, my duty is the only JOB I've ever had in 38 yrs. of marriage. Boy......I sure hope I'm found  to have done my duty acceptably. If that's a word. Because it is the only job I've been given.

Do you have a wife and kids to celebrate holidays with? How do you celebrate these kind of secular holidays or don't you. The forum would like to enjoy your presence and we can by knowing just a bit more about you.

Hey now, wait just a second!  Chicken/Pheasant/Quail Day! needs a spokesman.  I'm thinking Quail Man and his sidekick, Q, would appeal to all boys and men.  Not all boys know that quail even exist, much less pheasant.  We need Quail Man just like we need Chicken/Pheasant/Quail Day!.  This is a humanitarian effort, Carleen. It's our duty to bring fresh country living to all, but in particular to the boys and young men living in high rises in NYC, who don't know what grass is, to whom ponds is a ladies facial cream, and fowl is something a guy in a mask behind a man in a uniform screams after the ball is smacked with an oversized toothpick and goes outside the green diamond.  We've just got to help them, Carleen!  Ppppppplllllllleeeeeeeaaaaaasssssseeeee

Ok. Ok. If you insist this is a worthy cause, then I so bestow upon you, Dymphna, the excellent distinction of being Mother Quail, for all the poor high rise dwelling little boys and young men. Girls are allowed. The uniform is to be a duplicate of Quail Man. You make the rules for this club endeavor. All pond investigators must wear swimmies. Non negotiable. Girl and boys separated for any and all pond explorations. See, you cry out for a cause and now you must facilitate it, Dymphna.

Hey, Ches. Got my therapy dog here. One warning. Do not try to make him go up or down a staircase. Scared of stairs and vacuum cleaners. Logan loves a well made omelette. He hates spaghetti sauce and gravies. He loves salami, cheese, butter, cat food, cookies taken from babies.

OH! I forgot to mention a few very important virtues my dog has. He does not eat poop. He does not eat dead animals. He never rolls in any kind of sh**.  His fur does not have any odor. Unless he is wet. No oiliness. Always feels clean, unless he has been on a digging marathon, but then it is understandable.

Logan helps us dig up potatoes we've planted. True.

Ummmmmm, the coffee, well.......it's not fresh anymore. Jayne made it hours ago. She has a baby to care for, so...... maybe one of you coffee consumers can brew another pot. Ya think?

Ewwww.  Come on, Munda!  You deserve a fresh cup of coffee to take with you.  Don't reheat old coffee.  Especially virtual coffee.  It's easy enough to make and even better to drink, and doesn't cost a dime!  I may take up drinking virtual coffee.

Fair enough.  I guess I'm too much of a realist for my own good  ;). Fresh coffee in every cup today.  Can I have a French press, too?  I've always wanted one of those fancy thingies. 

And, good morning. ,I'll go ahead and start the thread since I'm up anyway, rocking a baby, and won't be going back to sleep.

GOOD MORNING! Munda, I do hope you were able to catch a wee bit more sleep. The French press is on the counter right next to the Bunn coffee maker. Grab it. It's yours.

Morning! Mass at 7:30, class at 9:25: it's going to be a good day.
Please pray for me, if you have a minute. I'm going to the registrar's office to apply for a course overload for Term 2, and if it's approved, I'll be in 8 courses next term. Yes, it'll be busy, and yes, some people think I'm crazy, but those closest to me know that I can do it.
Thanks in advance, and God bless you all!

No doubt you can do anything you put your mind to.  Out of curiosity, why do you want to overload like that?  Is it that you just want to get it over with?  You have my prayers and hope it all works out for you.   :pray3:

Not sure, Carleen... my son found that picture (it's unfortunately not our dog).  It does look a bit 'Akita-ish' though with all its fluffiness, doesn't it?  I wonder if it's an Akita/G. Shepherd mix or something similar (because it looks like a shepherd to me, too)?  Well, whatever it is, it's definitely adorable.  I'm sure of that!

Need time between up and at 'em. But I have time. You get older and you have time, but no one home.  Except my husband and dog. Choir practice here tonight and adoration.  Yes the day will not be a waste, plus I may do one thing right today. And may I not hurt my self doing it.

Well, the sun is shines and there are just a few puffy little clouds floating by.  I just noticed that I've got a rainbow in my house!  The sun is coming through a window that is close to my hexagon shaped fish tank, creating a rainbow in my dining room.  I'm going to see if I can get a picture of it.

Logan has all the look, but no aggressive behavior. He will scare people just by his look, which is good. We always say the ONLY reason Logan chases animals is to play with them. He is a love dog, but if some one doesn't know him, he can be intimidating. So far, Logan has never met a person he didn't like.

You have fish, Dymphna? Fish are like plants. I only kill them. The indoor plants, anyway. If I had fish, Fish protective services would take them away. Some people just shouldn't have them. Ya know?

Well, the sun is shines and there are just a few puffy little clouds floating by.  I just noticed that I've got a rainbow in my house!  The sun is coming through a window that is close to my hexagon shaped fish tank, creating a rainbow in my dining room.  I'm going to see if I can get a picture of it.

Logan has all the look, but no aggressive behavior. He will scare people just by his look, which is good. We always say the ONLY reason Logan chases animals is to play with them. He is a love dog, but if some one doesn't know him, he can be intimidating. So far, Logan has never met a person he didn't like.

You have fish, Dymphna? Fish are like plants. I only kill them. The indoor plants, anyway. If I had fish, Fish protective services would take them away. Some people just shouldn't have them. Ya know?

When Logan was little he NEVER wrecked anything. Although.....he was very hard on my Pekin ducks. He is soft mouth and he would carry them around by the neck. He never killed any of my birds, but he would carry them like one of his toys.

Will they "stay" here if you tell them too?  I don't want to startle them and make them sound the barking the alarm while I'm making my rounds during the night, or someone coming into the 4 am thread.  Getting them upset during the night might make for a bad next day.  I'm not saying I don't want them here because I really love the idea of having poochies and other animals around.

Yes. Balen won't be with us. He is the barker. He will stay home with his people. He has a job to do similar to yours Dymphna. All you have to do is allow my dog to sniff your scent and he will know you. Don't worry. He is never a rude sniffer. You can tip toe around and he will just sleep or follow you.

I'll get it!  I just read about a new recipe for coffee.  You take the regular and make it the regular way with the exception adding a packet of hot chocolate, and some cinnamon.  You can even add vanilla for a different flavor.  I can't wait for you all to try it!

Of course not.  But asking a Canadian whether it is cold could lead to misundestandings.  This chart may be helpful.

So anyway....we rented a super nice car. It has quite a fast excelleration. Going to try to find one to buy. It will not be very popular to drive it.....a Sonata. Korean. We owned 2 of them before they modified the body style. We loved them. They are not nearly as cheap as they were, but we are hoping to find a 14 or 15. We rarely buy new. Depreciate so much as you drive off the lot with your sales contract.

There is a mysterious stench in the basement.  Maybe from our senile Boston Terrier.  Have given the kids rakes to probe beneath the storage shelf and workbench.  Nobody is allowed to go do anything fun until the stench is gone.  Because they have begun to balk about walking the dogs, which is not too much to ask.  Someone took off the dog's sweater and mislaid it, so she won't go outside unless carried.  (Ain't nobody got time for dat.)

Also, someone broke the glass coffee pot.  It will work with 1/2 pot but pouring is messy.  Maybe we could get a replacement online.  But the weather is brisk and clear, with nice Arctic ambience.

Hi Elizabeth. Stench sucks alot. No one should have to endure stench. Dogs must be walked or stench will take over. Dogs poop. I am lucky. All I have to do is open the door. Dog poops. Open door. Dog comes in. Kind of an automatic dog. Though he does need to be fed. Or he can't poop. Plus he must have water. There are so many vehical tires to be peed on. Shrubs and trees for him to pee on. Just glad he only pees on them. Glad they don't mark everything with poop.

Good morning everybody!!  I'm trying to decide what to do with my nails.  Here are 2 examples that I'm mulling over:

(https://www.suscipedomine.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi65.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fh227%2Fdymphna17%2Ff9acff81-a8d5-479d-9527-4c5889a03a3f_zps6nx56o8s.jpg&hash=228f195c7d84a525de2b843d6495879401218121)

or do this one in navy blue

Hubby thinks I should do something in red and green.  It's more Christmas'y.  (How would you spell Christmassy?)  But the blue is new and I'm itching to use it. Oh the horrible dilemma's I get into.  Whoa is me!   :whistling: :lol:

I've only had mine done by a professional once.  Other than that, I do my own.  Most of the time, if I can study a picture, I can  almost do it well.  And sometimes I look at the picture and just can't get it.  Luckily, I have powdered sugar on hand to come to the rescue.  I'm leaning toward the lights since I've got the white base on.  Thanks for the input, Carleen.

Me neither.  I rarely even paint my fingernails because the "peeling" part of my nature tends to come out and I waste time (and polish) by seeing how big of strips I can get to peel off in one swoop, pretty much defeating the whole purpose of painting them in the first place! 

I'm impressed you can do that yourself though, Dymphna!  I have no idea about the process... are they acrylic nails?  Do you paint the designs onto the nails and then put them on your fingers?  Or do you already have them on your fingers and then work on the details?

Morning lynne. Hope you have a great day. Oh, do you think king of the jungle should be lion, or tiger?

Thank you, Carleendiane! It was an exciting start to the day, just a dusting of snow they said... Highway Dept didn't start treating the roads till we were well into the morning commute, yay! Lots of prayers to my guardian angel on the way in, so no accidents for me.

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

They're all scary to me and can do whatever they want in the jungle/forest...  :)

I've never had acrylic's on my nails.  I think it would drive me crazy even though they are usually very pretty.  I usually go on Pinterest to get inspiration.  Here's one I did that I really liked:

Or this one for summer:

Sorry about the size of these, my computer is acting up and won't let me into resize.  *Finally got it fixed!

And here are the Christmas nails:

MLG, sometimes UP is just an exercise of the WILL. Coffee only supports UP. You must get UP, so you can go to bed later. You see? That's how it works. I know this from experience.

Dymphna, OH most queeny of the nail queens. I have nails that grow like crazy. I used to polish and keep them nice. Since I can no longer polish my nails due to palsy in left hand, my nails can only be kept short. My thumbnails are so firm they have to be cut with toenail clippers. My toenails have to be cut with hedge trimmers. Everything else is wacky on me, but hair and nails are tip top. Go figure.

maryslittlegarden, it's Monday, so you are entitled to be tired.  Just try to keep the snoring to a minimum so you don't wake your co-workers.   ;)

Oh Carleen!  You have nails like my Mom did.  She would soak in the tub a while to get them to soften up enough for the clippers to cut them.  You've got to have something good about you.  On the days my stupid head isn't too bad, I get bored and painting my nails helps because it gives me something to concentrate on for a couple of hours.  That includes finding something cute to do.  Anyway, that's my world right now.  How is everybody else doing?  We've got a wacky Carleen and a snoring, with her eyes open and fingers moving MLG.

Non, I can't dance and my dog can't dance. I was just joking. But...I do wish those were my legs.  I believe my dog could do it if he was trained to. He can do anthing. Non...your cat is not trained to do tricks. Or you. But you could if you tried.

QuoteJolly Old Saint Nicholas
Swing your fist this way
We are swamped in heresies
We need you today
The truth's attacked from left and right
Now you dear old man
Teach me what to say to them
Tell me if you can

Johnny is a relativist
Susie's a schismatic
Nellie dissents from everything
She's really a fanatic
As for me, I know the Church
Teaches what is right
So show me, St. Nicholas
How to fight the fight

Ya know Ches, I figure if you can stand for two hours today, I can clean the kitchen, bathroom, and vacuum. That's about 2 hrs. Choir practice tonight. Really enjoying looking at my new car. Shouldn't, but do. Maybe I am a material girl. I might be.

Getting out early for doctor tomorrow. Somebody is going to have to put a pot on and babble. See that everyone who visits gets a cheery hello and wise words. Will get back around noon. It's up to you morning people.

A special day deserves a special coffee and pastries.  The lady at the bakery said this was the top of the line coffee;  Red Rooster Coffee Roaster "Sweet Holiday Blend".  Here's the write up on it:

QuoteBlind Assessment:
Delicately rich, crisp, balanced. Dried apricot, baker's chocolate, rhododendron, orange zest, cinnamon in aroma and cup. Lively, juicy acidity; velvety mouthfeel. Cinnamon-like spice leads in the short finish; dried fruit and vanilla-like flowers resonate in the long.

Notes:
Certified organic. A blend composed of a wet-processed Honduras, a wet-processed Ethiopia from the Sidamo/Sidama region, and a dried-in-the-fruit Ethiopia from the Yirgacheffe region. This coffee tied for the fourth-highest rating in a tasting of holiday coffees for Coffee Review's December 2016 tasting report. Established in 2010, Red Rooster is an organic-certified micro-roaster focusing on socially conscious coffee and high-quality coffee. Visit redroostercoffee.com or call 540-745-7338 for more information.

The Bottom Line: A classic coffee blend, sweet and rich, packaged in a hand-printed bag featuring local art, and one in a series of Red Rooster's special Advent calendar coffee releases.

Hope you all like it.  We've got to be sure to save some for Carleen.  I'm not sure how much 12 ounces makes, but it would take a little while for another order to get here from Virginia.

Delicately rich, crisp, balanced. Dried apricot, baker's chocolate, rhododendron, orange zest, cinnamon in aroma and cup. Lively, juicy acidity; velvety mouthfeel. Cinnamon-like spice leads in the short finish; dried fruit and vanilla-like flowers resonate in the long.

Notes:
Certified organic. A blend composed of a wet-processed Honduras, a wet-processed Ethiopia from the Sidamo/Sidama region, and a dried-in-the-fruit Ethiopia from the Yirgacheffe region. This coffee tied for the fourth-highest rating in a tasting of holiday coffees for Coffee Review's December 2016 tasting report. Established in 2010, Red Rooster is an organic-certified micro-roaster focusing on socially conscious coffee and high-quality coffee. Visit redroostercoffee.com or call 540-745-7338 for more information.

The Bottom Line: A classic coffee blend, sweet and rich, packaged in a hand-printed bag featuring local art, and one in a series of Red Rooster's special Advent calendar coffee releases.

Hope you all like it.  We've got to be sure to save some for Carleen.  I'm not sure how much 12 ounces makes, but it would take a little while for another order to get here from Virginia.

My my dymphna, you will have the whole forum eating out of your hand with those offerings. You sure are a gracious southerner! Before I know it everyone is going to be asking you to take over good morning! Me too. I'll be right with them with my coffee cup and napkin for my pastry.

So doctor visit confirmed suspicions. Displaced rib. Broken wrist. That was some picnic table.  I'll live. Got meds squared away and got weighed, eck. That's the worst part of a doctors visit. But 3 wks. of stomach problems hasn't hurt me in that area of interest. 8 lbs dropped. She was pretty sure it was a result of the injury. Not a virus. Might have to see a chiropractor. To get rib back in,place. But who cares I say. Who cares.

Going to 5:00 Mass tonight. yahoo! New car, new meds, new weight. Does it get any better. And a beautiful Mass for our beautiful mother. No, it doesn't get better than this.

I'm so glad you finally got to the doctor.  Please leave the picnic table weight lifting category out of your future repertoire.  In case your doctor failed mention that.   ;)  How in the world were you typing with a broken wrist?  And to offer it all up?  Props to you, Lady.  Hopefully now you can start healing.

Oh, dymphna, you do go on I am just looking for an easy way out of the suffering due me in purgatory. I'll tolerate anything here, now on this earth. Whatever He throws at me can not possibly be worse than the suffering of purgatory. Which, scares me. It truly does.So, being a wimp I prefer bodily sufferings..those I I know. The suffering of purgatory I do not know.

You mentioned typing. I type on my tablet using one finger. Typing on a real keyboard just doesn't work for me. The palsy in the left hand makes it useless on a key board. I can't control it. The wrist doesn't hurt when I only use one finger. My doctor is trying a new drug that may help the palsy. Fingers crossed. There is so much I can't do because of it. I just hope they don't have to go in and fix it. It's all I have. I must be able to do my hair, first and foremost, which is essential, I tell you. Essential. God knows vanity is in me and I pray He will help me with this. Either remove my vanity, or just let me have the use of my right hand even if they have to fix it.

I will keep my mini moderator position. The two threads will die if I don't do my morning and nite time babbling. Kaese, doesn't know this, but I have become one of his moderators. In a teeny tiny way. Maybe I should request a color I can use when I have to be tough. Like when the issue of the bubbles came up. I really could have used a color when I was firmly correcting you dymphna. I won't over use it. I won't weild it arrogantly. No. I will be humble but firm. Maybe we can start a petition with names requesting a color for my fraternal correction of the go to bedders, and the good morningers. I could use a little input on this my friends. Really, be straight with me. Be truthful, but kind. Am I or am I not one of the forum moderators, even though just a teeny tiny barely there moderator, and thereforeven This is very important should be assigned a color to use for warnings and correction. Opinions please.

OPEN!!!!! I have to head out for blood work and xrays. So you guys are on your own. Got a pot of Gevalia this morning. Son made it a bit too strong. Roads are slick today. I will go slow. Actually hubby will be driving me because of new meds. On Lyrica now so well see how I do on it. Also, new pain med. Don't want an accident! So glad to finally get this done. Been quite a while since getting clobbered by the picnic table. So my friends, say a quick one for safe trip. Going into Jackson. It's the main roads. Back roads are dirt so no problem.

My husband is sleepy too, I think.  He was having trouble making himself go to work this morning.  I had to sing "Go ye heroes" to him.

[yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEicdkW295c[/yt]

I am noticing it is a bit hard to make out the lyrics.  This is the women's part:

QuoteGo, ye heroes, go to glory,
Though you die in combat gory,
Ye shall live in song and story.
Go to immortality!
Go to death, and go to slaughter;
Die, and every Cornish daughter
With her tears your grave shall water.
Go, ye heroes, go and die!

Go, ye heroes, go and die!
Go, ye heroes, go and die!

Go and do your best endeavour,
And before all links we sever,
We will say farewell for ever.
Go to glory and the grave!

Go to glory and the grave!
For your foes are fierce and ruthless,
False, unmerciful, and truthless;
Young and tender, old and toothless,
All in vain their mercy crave.

A good sport you are, Munda. A good sport for sure! Hope your day is going well. Who cares if you don't get EVERYTHING you set out to do for the day? Who cares? The kids and baby are fed dressed and clean. You are a busy woman and I can see your clothes dryer is broke. Still hanging out the laundry, yet you find the time to pop in for a cuppa. What a woman.

This one is debatable. Check back on Sunday morning.....they are always clean on Mass day  :). And, yes, I do love a good clothes line!  Nice, crisp, fresh smelling laundry.

Ches, no wonder I adopted you! You are so empathetic. Not all men are. Anyways, if I have to have daughter do it I will, but I am kinda fussy about hair, because it was my specialty. Cutting coloring and perking was my specialty. Always done my own. Very hard to give the reins to someone else. Again, pure vanity. I am shameless when it comes to hair, makeup and clothing style.

Your friend sounds like such a good man. Would like a follow up report on how he's managing her long hair.

BABIES! OH HOW I LOVE THEM! I too am distracted by them. Even the homely ones, and there are some homely ones out there. I just love to watch their moves and facial expressions. I love to see them caress their mom or dad. Also, I can't help myself. I try to get their attention and make them smile. They make my heart smile.

Daughter with 2 month old is 3 hrs away, so I can't indulge as often as I want. I think about her baby and just long to rock her, change her diapers, put her to sleep and smell her sweet smell. I wish I could have had more children, but I was an emergency waiting to happen with each pregnancy.my last child was adopted. I NEVER felt like I didn't bear him myself. I was in the operating room when he was born and the first to hold him. It was wonderful. Just wonderful. His mom did not want him, so it was an easy transition from birth mom to me. He is mine. All mine.

Oh I pasted this into the wrong thread! Sorry.

Yahoo, Bernadette, so glad you can once again partake in the coffee. We've been serving all day lately. Right up to go to bed, pretty much. A cheerful welcome back to coffee drinking. Really, tea is just, kinda out of place in the coffee pot, don't you think?

A friend sent me this new brand of coffee. A dark roast called Song bird Coffee. It says it is a rich, smokey, intense coffee. I'll just put it on the counter by the coffee maker and the first one up can make it. Please, do follow the directions, we can modify if need be.

Well she also sent me some biscotti. You'll find it under my bed. Just don't want the vulture in it until I have shared with you guys and gals. It looks delicious. Our Mass isn't until 12:15 so we can have some in the morning. All depends on what time Mass is.

Bernadette, do you wear a lot of pale yellow clothes too?If you are part oriental, is your hair black?

Sadly, no.

It's very, very, very dark brown. Often mistaken for black. Though oddly, there are some red highlights in there, when the sun hits it. Maybe from the Irish part of the family?  :lol: There's a family saying that "all of the LastName women are redheads."

Jayne my place looks like your good morning picture. It's just beautiful, but I do believe we will be snowed in by morning. Hubby out plowing right now. All we have is a back blade for our tractor, so plowing is a bit tricky. But it gets the job done.

ches, ya home yet? How did wife do the night she had to see to the trache and whatnot? I if she can do all that she does, she will be able to provide the care needed to keep you home. Home is where all the miracles of God's grace unfold my dear young man. There is nothing but God's hands to guide her as she cares for you. And those hands?  They will not fail you or her. Count on it,Ches. He even knows where you live and what you need. He sees her efforts and will bless them. I think I would love your wife. What a flat-footed, can do girl.

New pot songbird coffee. Got it for a gift. Sharing it with all of you coffee drinkers. Its moderate tempwise, but quite a bit of snow. Looks lovely really. I hear it's going to be cold and snowy this winter. Is this true? Means going out daily to break ice out of drinking buckets. Still don't have heaters for all the buckets. Especially need one for the sheep.

CHESSSS! YOU HOME? Oh my, I hope so. We can ceoebrate.

Munda, mothers are cut a whole lot of slack. Rightfully so. Because they are always dealing with the unexpected but expected. Even though we know these virus's are around every corner it is always a surprise when they hIt. God bless you, Munda. Some one has to clean it up.  Mothers. Mothers clean up the viral deposits all over the house and in diapers and superman underwear.

Oh Munda, please don't feel bad.  That might not even be what he meant.  That was just the rock that was rolling around in my hollow head.  I'm usually pretty slow about stuff like that.  Slow or wrong.  Will you be able to maybe get a nap in later today?  Can you take power naps?  That might help.


Here's a picture of St Michael fighting evil.  I'll be he or you and your son's guardian angels would help fight the bug that is making him sick.

Dymphna, just think Chest was making a play on words. Cookie cake= cookie? Or cake? See...identity confusion. Makes sense to me. Frankly, cookie or cake, I want it...minus germs. Munda may have daughter make another one after virus passes.

Yes, that's what I said in comment #1112.  I just wasn't sure if that was what Ches meant.  He's often too brainy for me so I've really got to stop and think about what he is saying.  This time it just came to me, so I'm doubting myself.  But that's what you got out of it too, so maybe I was on target.

Those are 2 of my favorite Catholic pictures.  They always bring a smile to my face.  I was hoping they did that for Munda and everyone else here.  I'm glad you liked them Carleen.

Yep he's way, way smarter than I . And his turn of phrase is deceptive in that it is so smooth it can go right over my stupid, uneducated head. But, when I catch his drift I am happy. He is so funny but uses dry wit alot. I'm more of a sloppy drunken writer. Not really drunk, but all over the place sloppy. He is organized despite his med. I am not, but used to be somewhat better. Brain damage and med have made  me a bit of a foolish silly woman

But, i can still wish a warm, heartfelt, prayerful loving HAPPY BIRTHDAY,my friend, adopted son, my wheelchair warrior.

yes,idid make it home

I am really glad to be lying down in my own bed at home. got to look at some of the christmas decorations on the way home,nice to see the city all decorated for christmas. i dont get out much so it was anice way for me to see "the outside world" even if we had a lot of traffic.

my son decorated my room with birthday decorations he made some paper chains hung them on the wall drew some pictures also made me a birthday hat which doesnt quite fit,but it's the thought that counts. He also made me a birthday cake sculpture out of Model Magic. I got some birthday snuggles from the baby.  mrs c wasnt home when we got homebut she decorated the door so iwould see when I got home andthere were some balloons was a nice welcoe home. she gave me some noise canceling headphones for my birtday
hoping i can sleep better with them my world is a noisy place.  have an RN tonight so my wife sleeps in the boys' room probablygoingto be likethat because everyone needs sleep. 

35 is a big deal.  every birthday is a gift

mywife was tellingme that apparently myson told some of his teachers at school that his "daddy is in rehab" so my wife got a call from the school psychologist sayinghe got referred for counseling,asking if everything was OK. my wife had to tell her her that  I am not  in THAT rehab :lol:

I should have my husband work out a song on his harmonica for you. But Ches, recording is a big production, including musicians to accompany. 35 is a big deal. It's older aND wiser. I'm sorry to hear you are in drug rehab too. On top of everything else. Some how you find time to be a druggie. I laughed at that. So funny. Welcome home, Ches. You comfy? Need anything? Sounds like son and wife went all out. How loving.

Close enough! Saint Lucy's cats are Scandinavian sweet buns made on this day.

Good morning, ERIN IS NICE. I think I rub her the wrong way. Well, maybe I do that to a lot of people and I'm unaware of it. If I do I'm sorry. Life made me what I am. Life, DNA, traumas, grace, God......it all made me this way. Maybe I should be more subdued, less enthusiastic, less interested, less everything I do, maybe that would be better. I dunno. I'll work on it. But, I don't mind criticism. I can handle the occasional rebuke. It's for the greater good.

Good morning, everyone.

This is Tim Hortons coffee.  Because I'm Canadian.  And so you will understand why I have not posted to the Starbucks thread.   :canada:

I could never get into Starbucks.  The espresso just wasn't that good straight and I could never drink all those gigantic sugary milky concoctions.  Doubt Tim hortons has espresso though :)

Thanks, my friend jayne. Number 3 son here. Having Tim Horton with my youngerst. Thanks. Woke up late. Really enjoy getting up and finding a hot cup all ready for me. Number 3 son and father really enjoying conversation. He left home after a fist fight with dad. Now he and dad are best of friends. God has been so busy in my family.

Good morning, my friend Ches. I love how you just pop in with your random, though applicable comments. And I agree about starbucks. The best take out coffee I've ever had comes from BIGGBY. The best. But I'm sure there are none in new York or canada.

Fleur, well, if the shoe fits, or should I say coat, just wear it. I will freely admit to a biggist  butt. Not a big one, but biggish. I am so happy when the cold weather comes and I can cover it completely.Hubby says I'm overly self concious. It is just plain vanity. Why not call it what it is?

CHESSSS! O please check in with us. I am about to put out a missing child alert. Where are you? Are you doing advent pennance? Or something meritorious like that? Just a simple hello so we know you are ok.

Edited to include: Now, don't get mad if you see flyers, milk cartons, billboards and wanted signs for any information relating to missing child Chestertonian. Desperate times, desperate measures. Maybe someone has taken you and they don't know how to return you, because all they really wanted was your super duper super star, super transforming, upright mod squad transport. And you just happened to be strapped in securely. So no one could take you.

Bernadette, could you possibly bring some of your drinkable pudding that is like an egg nog. Maybe in the go to bed thread on Christmas eve. I have an idea that a liqueur like amaretto or coffee liqueur would make a fine drink to sit by the Christmas Eve fire with. Plus, maybe,  some of your international chocolates or cookies. That would be a fine topper. Bernadette, you and auntie will still have plenty. This is all virtual.

Also, my little friend, I did not buy you anything for Christmas, but there is still time. I will think of some thing wonderful, and send it by virtual mail. And you will be so virtually happy with it. :)

Now... this is quite serious my good morning friends. What would you buy good morning, if you could. Just seems were missing something besides the coffee table Akavit doesn't have time to or won't make for us. Think about it. Maybe....a strap to disable my one finger typing. Just throwing that out there. I still say a coffee table is a must. How about a bar with tall chairs, just hoping I can actually, gracefully, get on and off the tall chairs. I know we could have a child size table with little chairs for those under 5'4. And 200 pounds.

This weather is rough on me. If my good hand, right, gets cold , even cool, it goes numb. I have Reynaulds like my brother and dad. The circulation problem is very serious. I have no feeling until the hand warms again, which can take a half hour to an hour. Makes going out a problem. I need a glove on inside and outside the house. Grocery stores cause this, too. I can never forget the glove, but it happens even with a glove. Very annoying, really. No more than is deserved I guess.

I'm getting ready to take my daughter to the doctor. She's had a sore throat, and I want to make sure it isn't strep. If it is, I'm hoping we can catch it before it spreads to the whole family. If it isn't, we're going to have lunch together at our favorite Chinese restaurant. I know I should take her back to school, but my children rarely get to spend time alone with me, so I take the opportunity when it arises.

Fleur,  :pray3: for daughter and family. Yes, by all means, go out together. Seize the opportunity. we must first recognize opportunity when it comes knocking, then seize it. Good for you fleur, you are not afraid of encroaching on school time. You are the boss of your offspring. It's your way. Not theirs. Have fun. If it's NOT strep. ;)

i remember goingto ikea once with my wife,when my son was maybe 4 too... was a big deal taking the both of us to ikea.  he really wanted to go into that play area,and was really sad when we told him no,because they wouldnt allow parents in with the kids,and we cant just leave him with any old person. what does he think this is,the 1980's??  there was a big sign that said "CHILDREN MUST BE POTTY TRAINED" pretty sure they put that there because of my sister

Great story. My brothers, 6 of them, and sister who barely counts because she was older,, well my brothers and I were always on the brink of some horrible embarrassment for my parents, or actually did something horrible almost every time we all went out in public. One would either throw up, pee their pants, or have diahreah. Almost every. Single. Time. Poor mom and dad.

He was finally back up and running at full throttle yesterday :). Thanks for asking.  So far, no one else got it, thank God!

Oh, good!  Glad to hear he's better and that it didn't get to anyone else.  Phew.  Definitely hoping it remains that way.   (And, uh, maybe he'll run more like mid-throttle today.  ;) -- although poor little guy, that was a pretty long time for him to be sick, I bet full throttle was pretty welcome!)

He never runs at mid-throttle.  The sickness slowed him down for a little while but as soon as his stomach stsrted feeling better, he was ready to go.  He gives me a run for my money. 

And, yes, it was a long time for him to be sick.  Luckily, it wasn't too crazy.  No fever or any other symptoms.  I would've brought him in if there was, because I would've worried about dehydration. Plus, he ended up sick on his birthday. He was sad about that, but we made up for it yesteday.

But Munda, seems all is well. No one else caught the dreaded stomach virus. Most important that it NOT run through the house. So happy, son well, family well.

I'm getting ready to take my daughter to the doctor. She's had a sore throat, and I want to make sure it isn't strep. If it is, I'm hoping we can catch it before it spreads to the whole family. If it isn't, we're going to have lunch together at our favorite Chinese restaurant. I know I should take her back to school, but my children rarely get to spend time alone with me, so I take the opportunity when it arises.

It is strep.  :(

Please pray that the rest of the family doesn't catch it.

I really liked bacon and sausage, until my stroke. Now I want sugar. Crave it. This is definitely linked to the brains need for sugar to repair. So there you go. I can blame it on my damaged brain.

FOR ALL THAT WERE PRAYING FOR MY SON IN LAW....he had a bad night at home. Went into ER. Found out his calcium was so low it affected his  heart. It slowed his heart dangerously. They put him on an IV of calcium. He will be sent back home with a script for much more calcium to take at home. If he had not the sense to go in, he would have died of cardiac arrest. So, you see, your prayers were heard and my daughter still has her hubby. I cry with relief and thanksgiving!

I am better than OK.  Youngest daughter is back from college for holidays and various other children and grandchildren have gathered to greet her.  The house is full and happy.  I am the best kind of busy.

Good afternoon.  We are having Pierogi day in our house right now--everyone is busy making pierogi, then the local fire dept has a Santa on a Fire Truck that drives around the neighborhood giving out gifts, and then we are going to get our Christmas tree tonight and put it up.  This week is going to be making lots of cookies, tying up a lot of loose ends with my part time job, and planning the Christmas party for my daughter's 2nd grade class (which is on Friday)

Hubby got tree and put it up yesterday. Won't decorate till next Thursday when I have granddaughters here for baking. But, the tree is just perfect size and symetry. It will look wonderful decorated. I just sent him out for the tree, didn't expect him to go to the trouble of finding the tree stand, cleaning it, finding the fabric I use under it, and get it put up too. Good man. Send a Marine.

My aunt bought a huge chocolate cake and these "stollen bites" that are to die for. And gingerbread. And her favorite tuxedo cake. Oh, and muffins. :rofl: She's freezing most of this, and plans to distribute giftbaskets among the neighbors after Christmas, when their own supplies of baked goods have run low. So clever, that woman.  ;)

Just you and I jayne. Glad yesterday was pure joy for you. The small house water is frozen, so hubby kicked me out of the big bathroom in big house so he can shower. Still have to curl my stinking hair. Will get it all done. Have to...right? Hubby uses small house shower so as not to cause a backup in the big house bathroom. Isn't he sweet?

Not only does this suitably capture how I am feeling this morning, but it also is a scene from one of my favourite Kdramas.

Breakfast is also one of my favourites: leftover roast chicken and masked potatoes with kimchi.

Kimchi is fermented cabbage with red chili pepper.  It is the quintessential Korean food.

I am happy this morning. Now that could change. Have to call daughter for update on son in law, who I love very much, and they are having a very difficult time stabilizing his heart. Anyway, for now, I am happy. Getting little house ready for Christmas guests. Food in. Fresh linens, towels. Clean bathroom. You know, all the regular getting ready for guests stuff. But.....the guests are daughter, hubby and 6 kids. Hopefully hubby will be stable!

It is now 1:18, and I am so up and at em. I'm practically tripping over myself coming and going. From fridge and back, finding recipies, cleaning mixer, and chewing gum. Yup, a dangerous life mine is. I am right now, incognito. I am sporting the most outrageous bed head and clothing, no one would recognize me. Not that it gets a whole lot better even after I clean up... but geesh, this is ridiculous.

Wake up my peeps. Wake up and get some coffee or *cough* tea. Made some bread yesterday. It's on the counter near the beer cans from the go to bed thread. Don't know who left that mess, but by golly its gonna stay there until the person who made it cleans it up.

Good morning, everyone.  It is officially the first day of winter (in the northern hemisphere) although it is rather anticlimactic after there has already been so much snow. 

I am eating left-over Korean food from yesterday's supper.  CD does not even want to know what soon dae sook is.  I don't think she has recovered from learning about kimchi yet.

If we need an occasion to celebrate, the fourth anniversary of the forum is one week away.  Suscipe Domine was opened to the public on December 27, 2012.  Since it is after Christmas, we will not need to worry about Advent restraint.

It's not the leftovers.  We are just busy this week.  We finished school around 11, then decided to work on our Christmas baking before lunch, instead of after, today. Husband and son have altar server training this evening, so I have to get son there after lunch and naptime.

Oh yes Ches, much more noteworthy than just reaching 100 pages on a thread. That many posts is quite amazing. You and Jayne might be the highest post posters! Kaese should really throw an SD party. Where???? Maybe in the coffee pot with a new thread. It has to be noticed. Oh, it could be announced up top in the announcement/ information thread. There must be baloons and banners. Ches, I'm afraid your postal celebration would be lost in all the hoopla over 4 years. What should we do????

Way to go my peeps. A good showing in the morning thread. It is getting to be a food thread. Chest says talk of stuffed animals, kitties and such scares the men away. You have noticed that MARTIN88 does not pop in like he used to. Just sayin. But now food is always OK for men or women. Ethnic foods seem to be a favorite. So keep up the good work, attendance and such. Pictures are great and fun discussions are....fun. I am baking with my grand granddaughters. Cleaning too.

OK people, I'm up!  No, that's not a good thing.  This is day 2 1/2 of Hubby trying to get the sink in the bathroom to work.  It's been down for a couple of years, but something compelled him to fix the plumbing now.  It's not going very well and he will be making his 3rd trip to the hardware store here shortly.  If you all could spare a prayer for him and our plumbing (this includes the kitchen plumbing as well) I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you and that is all.   :pray2:

From Bert and Ernie to antique reindeer and dolls. He has a Christmas tree and all ornaments are kid friendly toys! He has Christmas boxes and bags stuffed with goodies.Lights strung up all over. The kids will be allowed to take any thing they want home with them. Old music boxes and clocks he found. Anything they want! This is my daughter's family that has gone through SO much because of hubby's cancer. I am beside myself with pride in my husband for all his sweet efforts.What a grandpa.

Thanks MLG, I am proud pappa has created a special memory. The older kids will always remember this. So will my daughter and her husband. Papa really went all out to make this Christmas special for them. Yay for pappa! He has NEVER done anything like this. I was always the one that made holidays, holy days, special. Now he knows why I did what I did for every holy day. It is so satisfying to make others happy. Right?

Soooooo. Poor hubby had his parking brake on while trying to get out of snowbank. Some how he hit the button to set the brake. They worked for an hour before this was discovered. Glad he did it, not me. ;D

Embarrassing... but a story that I hope you will both remember with laughs!  :-[ ;D

Jayne thank you and Happy Second day of Christmas. Really. You probably have your children still there. Hope your time with them and young son is extra sweet this year. Young son is getting older and probably connecting even more with the older siblings. It just gets better for him from now on. Their connections will just become stronger and deeper. They will appreciate him more and more. Especially because of your sons formation, Thanks to you Jayne and hubby.

I think the scarf is a sweet touch to a perfect Christmas outfit. Where did you shop for this wonderful touch of class? I am looking for a line of clothing such as the line THIS came from. What purse and shoes did you sport to compliment your perfect outfit. That will look wonderfull for sipping tea outside at a cafe in the finest part of town. Maybe you could go slumming and present a bit of fashion in the poor inner city ghettos. That would be Christmas charity for the homeless, bag people, shopping cart pushers, and just regular people hoping for a better life, Miss Mary, most beautiful.

I'd be willing to put money on a bet that says you could pull it off.  I remember seeing a picture of you on FE, I think, after you had gotten your hair done (it was a really pretty reddish brown, not very dark iir).  If your hair is still that color, I think you could pull this off.

Besides, dressing nicely using Pinterest as a guide, isn't like nailing a decorated cake...

Since the topic of Tim Hortons coffee comes up on this thread occasionally, you may be interested to know that Tim Hortons is in the news today.  http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/red-deer-man-punches-cougar-at-tim-hortons-to-save-dog-1.3914210 (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/red-deer-man-punches-cougar-at-tim-hortons-to-save-dog-1.3914210)

QuoteWill Gibb says he didn't realize it was a cougar that had caught his beloved pet husky by the neck until after he pummelled the wild animal in the head.

"I wasn't really analyzing it too much at the time," Gibb said. "All that was going through my mind is that I had to protect my dog.

"It was just very instinctual. My dogs are like my children."

The Red Deer man was meeting a friend for coffee at the Whitecourt Tim Hortons on Dec. 26, when he let his two dogs Sasha and Mongo out into the parking lot for a short run.

Within seconds, he said he heard Sasha, the female of the pair, start yelping.

A cougar had emerged from the woods nearby and pounced, he said.

"She (Sasha) was crying out in pain and distress so I went running," said Gibb, a 31-year-old technician. "And I saw something wrapped around her so I ran up and punched it in the side of the head.

"At that point I realized it was a cougar."

Gibb said he charged into the woods after the cougar but turned around to tend to his injured dog, which was whimpering and bleeding on the pavement.

Pfefferneuse is literally translated as pepper nuts.  They are small (nut-shaped) spice cookies.  The Lithuanian variation is shaped like mushrooms and called "grybai," the Lithuanian word for mushroom.  They are a traditional Christmas cookie in some cultures.

Not too far but too far for frequency. 3 hrs away. Port Huron. I will be driving out to stay for a few days in a month or so. And yes, I was in heaven. The feel of her skin under my lips when I kiss her is like nothing else. She doesn't suck my face like when newborn, but she smiles and coos and let's me do what I want with her. She loves diaper changes.

Wow, mystic monk! They must love you. And Good Morning, Jayne, thanks for the pic. I was wondering what you look like. You are cute, though your legs.....meh....are a bit on the skinny side.

Morning Dymphna, does your exalted presence here mean you slept last nite? Hello Red. Of course they have carrot noses. I always wanted a carrot nose. They are so long.

It is a trait that we evolved to protect ourselves from frost-bite.  This adaptation allows our noses to remain unfrozen.

Pretty sure I've seen carrots in the frozen food section.  But then again in Canada you must not need a frozen food section because the whole farmers market is frozen

It is not polite to mention that a person's nose has been replaced so we just act as if it were the same nose all along.  After all, getting a new nose would involve picking one's nose.  We do not discuss it.

Of course, Canadians have thin legs.  It is the natural result of daily hockey playing.

Poor Dymphna! Say it like it is. And about the gingers, well I would hate for one to overhear the conversations that have gone on here! Joking, but not. If you know what I mean. But they all are part Indian and most look it a bit like it they are all dark skin and hair. A ginger is strange to them. It's not like they look totally indian, but a hint of it. They are Slavic too.

You know it!  It may be very cold outside, but it warm in here.  My house is now cleaner than it was last night.  Woo Hoo!!  Now, to clean the window screens.  When we run the attic fan in the Spring and Fall, things like the cotton floating around from the cottonwood trees get sucked into the screens.  It only takes a little bit of soapy water, a little brush, and some drying time to clean them, but for some unknown reason, it takes a giant movement of the will for me to do it.  Well, today is that day!  Hold on everybody!  The earth is getting ready to move!  hahaha   :cheeseheadbeer:

I thank God always that he was put with me instead of BM. She would have wrecked him! And by golly if he isnt the one ill never have to worry about. Iron will. Traditional.

Meant to share this a while ago. Not that exciting, but warmed my heart. Laura, my daughter, was here for Christmas with her 6 kids. I was changing evelyn's diaper on the couch. Evelyn was laying there all happy. My dog came, watched what I was doing. He scampered away and came back with his rawhide bone. He then put it on the couch right next to Evelyn's face. And sat down by her. Tail wagging. A gift for the babe.  :)

That's....not quite how I've always heard this expression.  :lol:

Bernadette....explain yourself, because this is how my mom used it.

We're y'all misbehaving when she said it?  It should be "vim and vigor", implying lots of energy and a determination about the task at hand.  "Vinegar" implies a sour attitude.

I do believe that is more like mom meant it. A bit sassy.

I think you are confusing two expressions ( or your mom was): full of vim and vigor and full of p*ss and vinegar. They mean pretty much the same thing.

We're y'all misbehaving when she said it?  It should be "vim and vigor", implying lots of energy and a determination about the task at hand.  "Vinegar" implies a sour attitude.

I do believe that is more like mom meant it. A bit sassy.

I think you are confusing two expressions ( or your mom was): full of vim and vigor and full of p*ss and vinegar. They mean pretty much the same thing.

I'll take the vim and vigor, please

I'll take a lifetime supply.  Don't have enough vim and vigor in my life;  mostly it's vanilla and vinegar.  Not always unpleasant, but it is hard to get things done.  (Good thing I don't have kids to care for.)

Good morning!  Just got back from Mass, and offered it for everyone's intentions here.  I got my coffee at my favorite local shop today, since we passed by it on the way home.  It's cold and rainy today, with temperatures continuing to drop throughout the day, so we have deemed today a PJ and hot chocolate day.  As we watched the temperature on our car thermometer drop on our way home from Mass, my two older kids started saying, "oh, it's cold out today, dontcha know, eh?"  I thought of you, Jayne  :)

Not peanut butter.....pajama ;) Pajama day with hot cocoa....And, pictionary.  We left hay out for the Wise Men's camels under the Christmas tree last night, and dontcha know, they left us a gift when they stopped by to adore the Christ child who sits on our family altar.  It's 35° and dropping here, which is pretty cold for the south.  So much for school today....maybe this afternoon

That breakfast is more my style, Jayne. I'm really not a breakfast sweets kind of gal.  I'm not much on a lot of sweets, in general, really.  We are having shrimp and sautéed veggie omelettes today.  The kids warmed up some king cake from last night, too, but I'm not having any.


Carleen, we will manage.  We are just not equipped for nor experienced with cold weather down here.  I have full confidence that I'll have water by the end of the day.  I have some gallon jugs in the freezer that I can thaw and use.  In the meantime, paper plates!

That's awesome!  I'll bet you are having just as much fun watching them.  Better hide Grandma's fox stole!  That would probably freak them out, seeing those nasty little beady eyes staring at you.  I hate those things and never understood the reason for leaving the little heads on like that.

Because leaving the head and feet on makes it look even more like a little animal draped around your neck, and that is awesome! Sure, wearing a live fox would be the apex of awesome, but I hear that's not advised, so a dead one has to do.

My grandmother had a mink stole with the head and feet still attached. There was also a little spring in the jaw, so that the stole attached by having the head bite the tail.  :D

Awesome as in eeewwww.  That would be like strapping on a cow carcass because you like steak. My 5th or 6th generations back Grandfather was a trapper in Canada down through North Dakota and Minnesota, so I shouldn't be too phased by it.   :huh:  There are also too many pretty jeweled clips to take care of securing needs.  I would have to have a headless and pawless stole.   :lol:  But hey, to each his own!   :beer:

Get out from under that chair bird. You are too big for that. Besides, Mr fox is cute. If it's cute, It just doesn't have bite in it. Except for weasels and mink and I forget but they are cute and do bite. It's time to put the chair in the closet birdie. You are traversing all kind of new territory these days. You can't bring the chair everywhere you go bird. Be brave. I know you can do it!

They slept relatively well for them.  I have moved them to my house, so now I get to sleep in my own bed.  Also I sleep farther away from them so I am less disturbed by them.  Overall, my nights are easier now.

I am a creature who loves her comforts. I'm not very hard core at all. I just want to taste my coffee, the black coffee is offset by our toast and jam. Yep, I love comforts and even find ways to sweeten the pot. In comes my toast, butter and jam!

Lydia!!!! This one's for you.I HAD NO IDEA IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY TOO!

OK. I'll do my best. You Lydia are fun and fresh. You are brave in your posts. A strong yet very feminine woman. You encourage by your kindness. You are very unsaccharine. But sweet enough. You are barefoot and proud. Your basket may have cigarettes in it and a small bottle of who knows what. Or you may have medicinal herbs and roots and inner bark for healing your loved ones.  You look lovely in your shawl, dress, and basket of who knows what. And, somewhat mysterious.

You recognize truth and justice within posts. You are very insightful and your posts are thoughtfull and not just monologue. You contribute in useful ways which we appreciate. I like your style and way with people. Plus....your taste in music! Thank you for checking out the music I post, my husband's music, which personally, I think is fantastic. But you are not married to him and like it too. Thanks for giving it a listen.

A sincere and happy birthday to you my fellow forum poster. God bless you, lydia. God bless your goodness and kindness.

That poor frog!  :'(

Edit: And I couldn't have said it better, myself, Carleen!

Here, Dymphna, I "borrowed" this just for you! (https://www.suscipedomine.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fisheaters.com%2Fforums%2FSmileys%2Ffishy%2Fhbd.gif&hash=fe65ae61911d13fb2ec5ad1385f7ba7adefc5b0f)

Awww, my favorite birthday emoji!  How did you know?  Really.  It's the only one I've seen where he's (?) holding the banner and balloons.  I think it's one of the latest batch of emojis we put together for Kaesekopf to add.  (Hint hint, Kaese)   :lol:  Thank you Bernadette.  This was really sweet of you. I truly appreciate it.   8)   :beer:  Oh, and I totally agree, that poor frog!  It's so sad.  :(

Ahhh, prayers, the most wonderful of gifts.  Thank you so much, Munda.  I really appreciate that.

It is fun to have a birthday twin.  January 9th is a very good day.   ;) :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DYMPHNA!!!!!!! THIS IS FOR YOU:

DYMPHNA IS...sweet, holy, funny, loving, hugger, story teller, protector, encourager, morale booster, generous, brave, warrior, gentle kitten, fearless, angelic, pretty, wing wearer, halo hoping, hard working, light sleeper, gun toting, motorcycle rider, tornado survivòr, homemaker, tea ring maker, tea drinker, big sister, ongoing improver of all things spiritual...did I say PRETTY? I meant BEAUTIFUL. I know this. Seen pics.

DYMPHNA is patient, empathetic, advisor, colorful, fun loving, good listener, non jealous, happy for YOUR happiness, cookie eater, peanut butter lover, sweet wifey, spicey wifey, long suffering, offer upper, arm chair warrior, truth speaker, defender of friends, just, righteous, pleasing to me, pleasing to others, pleasing to God!

Happy birthday my friend. May this day be full of blessings and joy. Dymphna, this day means so much to me because it honors my friends birth. If this birth had NOT happened, I would have a complete void because only you Dymphna can fill this spot. You are a bright spot in my life and I would be much poorer without you. God bless you Dymphna!

Oh Sweet Carleen!  I am overwhelmed by your kindness.  If I can live up to even a couple of these, I'll be doing good.  You are so sweet, I would absolutely have a hole in my life were you not in it.  You are proof that God takes care of us, even when we don't know what we need.  I don't know how to adequately thank you so please accept my pitiful yet sincere thanks.  Thanks for being so kind and thanks for being my friend.  I'm going to print this out so I can show it to God when I die.  He'll have to let me into heaven then.   :lol:  8)  :grouphug:

Oh dymph, it's all true, to varying degrees. You are all that. Don't be so surprised. God knows you, he knows your headaches within and without that head of yours. He made you beautiful yet very approachable. He knows each and every struggle you are faced with and grants you graces along your bumpy road which will end at the gates of heaven. He is all THAT to you and for you. Padre Pio was terrified by the uncertainty of whether or not he had served God well enough to gain heaven. So fear has its place. It drives us to work harder and harder. To exhaust ourselves with the effort.You know all this. You don't need me to lecture you on salvation! Every kind word you say to me can bounce right back atcha, dymphna.

looks a bit protestantesque but the TWO ramps add a nice touch

I think those may be Catholic ramps Ches. You were wondering why more catholic churches don't have the appropriate ramps for handicapped. Now we know. They are being stolen and used on protestant churches. Are they now protestant ramps?

That church looks like the Catholic churches in the country, up north. Like the kind polish farmers would build for their country families to use. Minus the ramps, of course.

Good morning and good day to you, Ches. You in hospital, or home?

Wow!  That turned out rather large, didn't it?  Tell me if it's annoyingly large and I'll redo it.

The sad thing about this is, I just ordered a new one and it should be here any day.  He said he wants me to keep them both, but I will have a hard time doing that.  I just can't justify 2 dressy watches.  We'll see.

Dymphna, the only place that watch could look better, is on MY wrist! Serously. ALan has sweet taste. if you return anything, it must not be THAT. Hubby took time it pick it out. He stood there and thought about you, your wrist and your taste, and bought accordingly. He will be rewarded by seeing that watch out  your wrist.

I've never actually shoveled snow, so it would take me longer than someone who is experienced. During the time I spent in New Hampshire, the male students took care of the shoveling. I find it oddly satisfying to think that the exact same thing would have happened among the older generation here in the South.  :lol:

After Carleen kept rubbing in how I managed to have no alcoholic drinks around on New Year's Eve, I had my husband get us a bottle of Bailey's.  I have been having it in hot chocolate and in coffee, and drinking it straight.  It is all Carleen's fault.

(Although I think I have managed to keep from drinking it before noon.)

Bernadette do not say this out loud. Everyone has shoveled something. Shoveling is shoveling. Unless some one here begs to differ. To say you've never shoveled is like saying "I've never fed the animals"   Just sounds so limited in life experience, my dear. Of course you've fed animals, just not farm animals. Maybe I'm just being nit-picky. I dunno. I just want so much for you bird. :grouphug:

Because lots of people want to hug Bernadette, of course.  You have to share.

(Also there is no reason to congratulate yourself on getting me to drink Bailey's.  That requires no powers of persuasion whatsoever.  Getting me to stop drinking it, on the other hand, would be impressive.)

Are you at the hospital by any chance?

Will probably be leaving for hospital soon. On top of everything else, teenage son has some sort of flu and I just fiinished cleaning up vomit.

Oh Lydia!  Thank you so much!  You beat me to it.  I couldn't get my Photo Bucket to work fast enough.  Anyway...

to you, my friend.  I pray your day is full of sunshine and blessings from God.  I know He is up there smiling and pointing you out to the Angels, saying, "I did that!"

You forgot the next part where He then asked Himself, "Why? Oh, why did I do that??"  LOL  And you beat me to it last year, so now we're even.

QuoteSeriously though, I hope you have a happy, healthy, and holy year.  God bless!   :beer: :cheer: :thumbsup: :cheer: :grouphug: :whistling: Happy birthday to you!!!!

Thank you, Dymphna  :) --I hope the very same for you!  (I'm sorry I'm just now replying, this is the first I've gotten on here since the other morning.)

DEAR MORNING PEEPS: Forgive my tardy entry today. So husband wakes me up. Tells me he is going in for dental emergency at va. It does not cross my foggy brain to offer to drive him, a one hour 15 min. drive. Oh no. What do I do? I fall back to sleep. It was like I could not keep my stupid eyes open. So he leaves at 830 and I sleep until 10:10. I should be horsewhipped. On top of it all....I almost let the fire go out. An absolute no no.

Lydia!!!! This one's for you.I HAD NO IDEA IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY TOO!

OK. I'll do my best. You Lydia are fun and fresh. You are brave in your posts. A strong yet very feminine woman. You encourage by your kindness. You are very unsaccharine. But sweet enough. You are barefoot and proud. Your basket may have cigarettes in it and a small bottle of who knows what. Or you may have medicinal herbs and roots and inner bark for healing your loved ones.  You look lovely in your shawl, dress, and basket of who knows what. And, somewhat mysterious.

You recognize truth and justice within posts. You are very insightful and your posts are thoughtfull and not just monologue. You contribute in useful ways which we appreciate. I like your style and way with people. Plus....your taste in music! Thank you for checking out the music I post, my husband's music, which personally, I think is fantastic. But you are not married to him and like it too. Thanks for giving it a listen.

A sincere and happy birthday to you my fellow forum poster. God bless you, lydia. God bless your goodness and kindness.

Carleen, you were totally put on the spot there   ;D ... and sorry that I'm just now replying: but this was so nice of you to write.  Thank you for your kindness and birthday wishes.   :grouphug:  (FYI:  My mystery basket carries all of the above... and... now I'll probably need to go find a nice mega-dose of humility to put in there as well  ;) :D)

Thanks again, Carleen.  You're a sweetheart.

Nope. Bought it used on eBay. I still wear it, I just have to make sure I have long sleeves on, if I don't want to itch. ;) I should just line it with something snuggly, now that I think about it.  ::)

Negative on jock in college.  Definitely negative on having a doctorate.  But if the dress, shawl, and basket can = hippyish, then I think you aren't so far off the mark at all, Carleen.   ;D

No, it won't start anything until tomorrow afternoon.  That is when the Winter Storm Watch goes into effect.  It is starting to cloud up now though.

You feel free to slide, roll, or run on over anytime.  The generator is all prepped and ready just in case, got a brand new bottle of Crown Apple (although I need to remind Hubby to pick up some cranberry juice to go with it), plenty of cookies, cereal and milk for tomorrow, and I'll be making a roast with carrots, potatoes, and onion tomorrow to have on Saturday and Sunday if we lose power.  Just let me know if you all are headed my way so I can change the sheets on the bed in the spare bedroom.  In case the sheets that are on it now got dusty.

I will warn you though, Hubby doesn't care what the weather is doing, if there is somewhere he wants to go, he goes.  So we will make it to Mass on Sunday (provided there is one) whether there is an inch of ice out there or not.  So, make sure you've gone to confession, say a good Act of Contrition, get your rosary ready, close your eyes, and hang on cuz we're going for a ride!!   :eek: :swoon1: :lol:

Dymphna, I think I may just skate to the hood. Yep, that's it. I grew up on skates. Dad had us skating by 3 years old. We may have had crummy shoes, but by golly our skates were polished, replaced if need be, sharpened and ready to go every winter.My dad was an accomplished amateur. He taught us so much on the ice. We all wore figure skates unless a boy was into hockey.

Oh yeah, we had the moves. Moves and speed. Guys would come up and ask us if we wanted to skate then we would hold hands for a turn or two around the rink. It was very innocent and sweet.

But I think I will need a back pack and munchies if I'm going to your house in the hood. And maybe a gun or knife. There are weirdos out there that will take anyone they can. Even old ladies on skates. Not to worry. I can kick and scream with the best of them! Maybe you could meet me at the state line. We'll come in like a couple of graceful birds.But....I have no snowpants. I will have to wear hubbies. They are from working fixing street lights...very attractive on me, if you like that kinda thing. Anyway, I can stop and pick up ladies along my way. If they have skates. I guess they could boot skate. But it's a long way. I can't be slowed down by a bunch of boot skaters, can i?

See you soon dymphna.

Sweet!  I will certainly meet you at the state line.  I was going to suggest it.  We'll stop at Gates "Hi!  May I help you?" BBQ in Kansas City for lunch on the way back to da' hood.  Besides a back pack and munchies, you'll want to pick up your own tire to burn for heat in your bedroom.  It can get a little breezy between the slats around the windows.  And make sure your skates are sharp.  Your kicking and screaming will just blend in with the rest, but a sharp skate can take care of business!  Oh, I can't wait!  I'll meet you in KC on the state line.  I'll be in the pink Carhart's.  And no, you can't be slowed down by a bunch of boot skaters.  I'll be picking them off with the .12 gauge.  Come on up Bernadette!  The ice will be beautiful!   ;)

Husband had two infected teeth, fractured teeth, pulled yesterday by oral surgeon, but it was a difficult extraction and took so long the numbing stuff wore off right as they finished. VA is one and half hr. drive and they did give him pain med but took a while to kick in. Said he was in so much pain he thought he may throw up and considered pulling over and calling some one. Wow. That's a lot of pain. Poor man could only equate the pain from heart attack to the pain level yesterday.....and then driving the long drive home! God bless him. Please pray it heals quickly.

^ Who else noticed the sheep's boots?!  ;D

I was thinking that maybe they had little spikes on them.  Otherwise, how is he not slipping and falling on the ice?

Maybe the boots have chains on them? or skates?

Looking closely at the picture, I think I see some sort of spikes or cleats.

Pt ches. Only pt. But they do things to force my brain to fire correctly. To respond to repetitive of certain movements. It starts out awkward and very unbalanced and with repetition, I have more success with the repeated movements. That's what I call mental.

Who cares if it's dreary outside, and the water has to be cracked out of the water holders. Who cares if all the snow is gone.we are halfway through winter. That's all that matters. Besides it's warm and cheery inside my home. And in the good morning thread. Maybe I'll make bread today.

Is it work for you to visit inlaws? Or is it a pleasant thing to do? Are the dynamics good? Mine were good. The problems that arose were always between MIL and my husband. A very pain filled difficult relationship. But inlaws liked me plenty and I could enjoy keeping company with husband's mother as long as I didn't also keep in the forefront of my mind the horrible mother she was. Who she was 50 years ago is not who she is now. Actually, she died 2 years ago, but still haunts my husband daily. Sad really. But that is the impact a mother has on her child.

My in-laws (the parents) have both passed away. We got along well, for the most part. The ones who are left are my husband's 2 sisters and brother. We get along pretty well when we're together. The sisters and I are friends on Facebook but we really don't communicate very much. It's always just a long time, 4-hour ride down to Jersey, visiting with lots of people (My husband always visits the cemetery where his parents are buried. They're in the mausoleum so it's an easy visit, summer or winter, rain or shine.) Then, the 4-hour drive back. We stay for 2 nights.

Your in-laws sound alot like mine now.  The first 2 years were awful.  MIL and 2 SILs hated me.  They had spies all over town trying to catch me doing anything wrong.  Alot of stuff got made up and circulated.  It wasn't until Hubby came back from Bootcamp in the Navy, they finally decided I wasn't so terrible.  Hubby chewing them out for writing him letters telling him I was being unfaithful with his friends might have made a difference.  Between me, his Brother, and his friends telling him it wasn't true, he knew they had no credibility.  After that, everything was peachy creamy.  Until his Dad +RIP+ died.  All hell broke loose and for whatever reason, I was the target.  Hubby had one Sister under each arm while I ran to the car.  Didn't see them again for a couple of years.  Then, slowly but surely, we all came back together and got along fine.  I have to say though, when his Sister died last year, I was extremely nervous.  It's been nice for the most part.    The birthday cards they send are for a Daughter and a Sister.  It's nice.

Good Morning all. It is a new day. Let's get out there and do good. No arguing. That's the plan.

Finally! I was getting worried...

Lynne, thanks for dropping by. Son made cowboy coffee. I get caught up talking with hubby. And before I know it morning is half gone. Got a muffin? Joking. Not.

Cowboy coffee? What's that?

I already ate it...it was good, a nice banana muffin.  :(

Cowboy coffee is coffee so strong only a cowboy would drink it!

Ah, high-octane stuff!

C'mon guys, gals, get going. Or are you already gone? Ches, I know where you are, and you can't go anywhere. How about a few words of wisdom for this old warhorse. This warhorse in decline. Come, encourage me. I will do the same for you. I will try.

I'm not Ches, but can I be a warhorse too?  All of this young stuff is getting on my nerves.  I picture warhorses to be those who have been in battle and won.  Some battles are lost, but most are won.  It's all for winning the war for our King.  So, for now everyone is sitting around in a dimly lit,  dark paneled room, smoking cigars and drinking cognac, planning the next strategy.  Only good can make it to these hallowed halls.  Will I ever be good enough to make it to this room?  Miss Carleen has it in her hands to say yes or no.  What say ye, Miss Carleen?

Oh dymphna, don't put any thing in my hands. I'll drop it. But as far as I know, to be part of the hallowed halls of old workhowses, you need, cognac, cigars, and battle under your belt. Any catholic battle will do. Yes, you will fit in nicely. We do not look at credentials. Other than your bottle, and cigars. If you bring in high quality cigars you get to sit in a best spot. I am the door keeper and look out. Serious busiNess goes on here. Mostly clandestine operations. You will be sworn to secrecy. But this is not a secret society.We do not kill people for leaving our hallowed group of warhorses. If you wish to stay with us you will be tattooed with eyebrows. Every member will know the other member by the tattooed eyebrows. We thought about eyeliner, but our men said no. Our leader is selected every 2 years or upon the death of current leader. It happens. No secret handshakes. The only thing we ask remains secret is out strategy.

Of course you're in bird. Now about that cognac and cigars. You only bring them, but do not have to indulge. It's just an offering to be shared with others.

My parents seem to be settling into living at my house and we have been establishing a daily routine.  This is a good thing.  However, the routine involves me needing to give them a lot of time and attention in the mornings. My computer time ends up being in the afternoons or evenings. I have been struggling to fit in my "good morning" posts and I have decided to give up.  Sorry.  (Just so you can tell I'm Canadian.)

Jayne, your family commitment surely does take precedence over everything else, especially this thread. I am so enviou. I will never get the chance to pour myself out for one or both of my parents. I live almost 5 hours from my dad and he would never move. Not with my sister and her husband 5 minutes from his home. Mom died a few months before her 70th birthday. She was something else. Some believed a saint. I don't know about that, but she was very charitable in thought word and deed. Very. An icon in my hometown and as modest as the day is long. My loss, not being able to care for her on her downslide. My dad, well, let's just say, he's not the same man I grew up with. He too is very highly regarded in my hometown, but for different reasons. I would love to share my sisters burden caring for him. He loves me and I love him. I can talk all things catholic with him. He is so hungry for someone to talk spiritual matters with him. Since I hardly shut up, we would enjoy each others company. His hearing is so bad, he misses half of what I say anyway.

Not when it takes me soooo long to get ready! And I've quit trying to curl hair. Still takes me long time. If I can't curl it I have to do something with it to look decent. Takes time to figure out what to do!

The ends of my fingers are not quite so painful. Learned the painful bamboo splinters under my nails were really small hemorages happening because of lack of blood flow. It is there but pain a little less, due to the blood thinner med. I think. Going in to vascular surgeon on weds. Will find out about bypass surgery. Will let you know when I know something.

Good morning fellow posters of SD!!  Hubby brought home my favorite donuts.  He calls and tells them that he wants 12 cake donuts with white frosting and toasted coconut on top.  They make them fresh and he just picks them up.  Such a sweetheart!  There is no way I can eat 12 donuts, so you all help yourselves!  I've also made some coffee, or whatever was in that can over there.  It's gone now so you will want to get some more when you go to the store.  There is also a pot of boiling water for anyone who wants tea or hot chocolate.

Make it a great day everybody!!!  It's up to you after all.   ;)   8)

Typically, homeschooling takes less time than conventional school.  The latter wastes a lot of time on administration, busy work, etc.  It is common for homeschooled children to get a better education and spend less time on it.

QuotePeameal bacon (also known as cornmeal bacon and Canadian bacon) is a type of back bacon made from lean boneless pork loin, trimmed fine, wet cured, and rolled in cornmeal. Development is credited to a Toronto, Ontario, ham and bacon curer, William Davies,[1] whose idea was taken on by emigrees from Wiltshire, England, who settled in Canada.[citation needed]
The name "peameal bacon" derives from the historic practice of rolling the cured and trimmed boneless loin in dried and ground yellow peas to extend shelf life. Since the end of World War II it has been rolled in ground yellow cornmeal.
Peameal bacon sandwiches are often considered a signature dish of Toronto's St. Lawrence Market. It is grilled in medium-sized slices until the centre is slightly rare and the cornmeal coating and external fat turns crisp to the bite.

I'm up, I'm up!  The baby didn't sleep well, so I slept in and let the big kids fend for themselves.  When I finally got up, my oldest had coffee going, was washing breakfast dishes, and then fixed me a couple of fried eggs.  Love that kid!  She's a real keeper. I'll be sad when she decides it's time to leave the nest.

Yep. A keeper! Now go fix your hair :) seriously. I have to try and dye mine this weekend. Hope I can. This is important!

It is my duty as a Canadian to promote our national bacon.

just have to watch out for the evil Jewish conspiracy to demote bacon and remove it from everything from breakfast to vegetable side dishes.  It all starts in the evil public elementary schools where gym teachers (chief ministers of evil) teach innocent children to "steal the Bacon

You're in good company....my toddler is a crab this morning, too  ::). The two of you can keep each other company, so the rest of us can enjoy our coffee, while watching the robins play in the yard  ;). I just drew a bubble bath for him to play in, and put the space heater on.....you'll warm up nicely in there, too.

If you could spare a prayer for me, I'd appreciate it. I was in a car accident on my way to Mass this morning and the front bumper on my car is cracked most of the way across. I had my cell phone in my coat pocket (which is odd, because normally I carry it in my wallet) and the screen cracked against my seatbelt during the impact, so now I need to get a new cell phone as well.

Well, thanks for prayers. I would say things went very well. Good news bad news goodnews. They found an aneurysm in my shoulder that they will be sending me to u of m for repair. But they be level it was the source for my arm clots and possibly my stroke. The good news is, it is a common condition found with pitchers as they get older. So they have a successful procedure they use to fix it. The shoulder clavicle, top rib are all too tight narrowing opening for blood flow, which causes artery to baloon. So I am hopeful. Never knew why my shoulder hurt so much! Now I do. Thanks again for prayers.

I HATE accidents, even small ones.  They bring out my bad language and bad mood for at least the rest of the day. Yours couldn't have been much fun - I'm sure breaking your cell phone didn't really help.

I hope you weren't hurt.  Probably not as bad as when I had an accident (plowed into a tree) on the way to Mass 10 years ago and broke my back and neck.  That was worse than a bad mood (or even than a broken cell phone). But something that happened recently is more trouble than something that happened 10 years ago. I hope you are OK.

See, you should have quit pitching when you were still young.  j/k  I'm so glad it went well.  And after you get the new procedure done you'll be around for a long, long time.  Your family must be thrilled to pieces.  Deo Gratias!!

Me too bird. I wonder why have one, if it's not going to be part of your family. They will never be a well behaved dog, a good companion, unless they can adore their master. That takes time together. They get to know your moods and whatnot. They just may know you better than anyone else in the house!

Morning to all. It is cold and bright out. My dog won't stay away from neighbor dog. They're in love. That dog has to stay in pen all the time poor thing.

You could make an animal reality show with all that goes on

I know, right? My tablet is dying. Oh how I hate starting a new gadget. Won't charge. It's not the charger. It's the tablet. :(

lol We are sports people!

But I only watched till the end of the 2nd quarter. Lady Gaga was going to perform during the halftime and I thought it was going to be gross so I opted to go upstairs and get ready for bed. I guess her performance was pretty good though...

Oh, and I won $80 in a football pool!

Happy Wednesday morning! I attempted to head to work this morning but the streets were like an ice rink. Carefully drove around the block, parked the car in the driveway and am working from home. One of our highways had a 50-car+ pileup.

My daughter safely made it to her work, with a fractured hand from her car accident the other day.  Luckily, her boss already told her to stay home tomorrow as we're supposed to get 10 - 14 inches of snow.  :eek:

So my Ches, did you get to take your super dooper, transforming transformer outside so you could get a dose of relatively fresh air? I sure hope you do before the temp drops! Oh, just the idea of you getting out thrills me.

Morning is over. Way over. Just sticking my head in. Hope ya'all had a terrific day. I know I did. I have 10 grandkids over today. Weather quite mild so they have been outside as much as in.  It's been a foodie day. Started out with creole fried rice, moved on to peanut butter pretzels, then Gatorade and a little potato chips. Baby has been like my candy all day. She is edible. Small and snuggley. Just delicious.

Yes Lynne, there is NOTHING I'd rather be doing! They run around with p butter on their spoons. There is p butter all over. 2 yr old just took a nosedive off a chair! Always a tragedy waiting to strike. Getting time for the older ones to get out there to feed animals. Couldnt ask for more enthusiastic help.

It's cool and gorgeous here today.  Much colder than yesteday.  It's been a poor excuse for winter this year, though.  Today is oldest's son's 10th bday, so trying really hard to rise above my exhaustion and terrible mood, and make the day special for him.  He and his brother caught a possum in their trap today, so I think he's pretty excited so far. I'm cooking his favorite dinner tonight, and tomorrow he's having a few friends over for a camp out.  I'm glad the weather will be nice for them.

But in a few months hopefully it will be warm enough

Hi everybody!  It's 29 degrees here.  Wish we had snow to make the temperatures worth it.  But tomorrow and Saturday are supposed to get up to 69.  Perfect motorcycle weather if you ask me!

Munda, your son's birthday dinner isn't going to be... gulp... possum, is it?  :eek:  I guess even if it is, Happy birthday to the new 10 year old!   :cheer:

Lynne, maybe go out and make a few snow angels for those of us who don't get fun snow?  I'd bet Hubby would enjoy that.   ;)

And Carleen, I think it's time for you to share that baby.  Even if it's for just a little while, everybody needs a turn.  It will be good for your soul.  Ya, that's it, it will be good for your soul to make a little sacrifice.  Now pass her over.  I'll even take a turn cleaning up peanut butter.

Hahaha...no, definitely NOT possum  :ack:  those things are pretty gross.  It's a steamed shrimp dish, with various seasonings, and French bread to dip in the sauce it makes.  It is quite delicious, actually.

Now Dymphna, don't get grabby. I don't want her catching a cold or migraine. She is so perfectly perfect. She has slightly oriental eyes, though she is polish, german,Croatian., Welsh, a bit of indian. Black black hair. Tiny face huge eyes, slight body. Kinda delicate looking overall. Buttery, but small.Oh, alright, Dymphna, I will share. It's only right.

Oh, I'm glad it's shrimp and not possum, Munda.  I find possumi...er possi... I guess the plural of 'opossum' IS 'opossum' or 'opossums'. Who knew?  Anyway, I find them to be kind of cute in their own weird way.  I certainly wouldn't want to eat one, cute or not!  They are pretty greasy and gamy from what I understand.  I won't go into why I understand that. *shiver

And YIPPY!!  Carleen's going to let me hold the baby!  I promise not to pass on any migraine germs.  You're such a good friend.  She sounds just gorgeous.  Are her brothers and sisters dark haired as well?

I'm looking at the bottom of cup number 2, also.  I may need more, though.  There was French toast, sausages, apples, and grapefruit, but those boys wiped us out!  There may be a lone bite of apple left.....maybe

Munda, Lynne, you two I can always count on to share my morning coffee. Lynne, you will very much enjoy this time with daughter. It will be like a new phase in your relationship. How old is she Lynne? Munda, really, all gone? Haven't you told your kids about the needy lady in the good morning thread? They will surely be charitable. Just one bite of each item will do me. Tell them I am so poor. Well, I am in many ways.

She's 25, she'll be 26 in August. She moved out about 20 months ago. I hope it goes well. Of course we love one another but I didn't come back to the faith till she was a teenager so she's got no background of Catholicism (even though she went to parochial schools for 12 years).  ::)

Ok. I get it. You are back to catholic truth and she just has the residue of your ordinary catholic school education. Oh, Lynne, this could be the catalyst needed to propel her to tradition. God, please move her spirit in this direction. I too went to catholic school, but did not begin to learn my faith until I started to attend classes taught by Father Hardon, at domino farms in  Ann arbor. 12 years of Catholic education did nothing for me. I had to leave the Faith, then return, before my education began.

There's still lunch to look forward to  :).  We will do cake and ice cream after that, and I promise to save you some!  In the mean time, how about a piece of fried fish to tide you over?  There's some leftover from last night.

One fried fish would do the job munda. Is your family vegetarian. I know yesterday was friday, but it seems you do eat vegetation alot. Maybe I'm wrong. I eat very little meat, but that is only preferance. It is hard for me to chew due to missing back teeth I had removed because I thought they were the reason for my tooth and jaw pain. Then I found out the problem was trigeminal neuralgia. But too late. Teeth are gone until I can afford bridges. >:(

Munda, Lynne, you two I can always count on to share my morning coffee. Lynne, you will very much enjoy this time with daughter. It will be like a new phase in your relationship. How old is she Lynne? Munda, really, all gone? Haven't you told your kids about the needy lady in the good morning thread? They will surely be charitable. Just one bite of each item will do me. Tell them I am so poor. Well, I am in many ways.

She's 25, she'll be 26 in August. She moved out about 20 months ago. I hope it goes well. Of course we love one another but I didn't come back to the faith till she was a teenager so she's got no background of Catholicism (even though she went to parochial schools for 12 years).  ::)

Sounds like a great opportunity for the green scapular  :). And,  :pray3:

The green scapular is in her quilt and yes, I'm praying...

This is my favorite for this situation...

Prayer for a Wayward Child
Quote
O Holy Mother, St. Anne, so rich in graces!  Thou wilt never leave unheard the pleadings and tears of a mother who invokes thee for a wayward child.  Thou knowest my grief and the anguish of my heart.  Look down with thy maternal eyes upon this poor erring child, and bring her back upon the way of salvation, that she may again serve God faithfully and thus obtain eternal happiness.  Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
Hail Mary (three times)

Good early afternoon Ladies!

Munda - So you have cows and pigs you have to deal with alone besides children?!  Hats off to you, Lady!  Wow!  Do you come from a family that raised animals for food as well?  Were they Catholic as well?  Sorry for being so nosy.

Lynne - Is the University that your daughter goes to in the same town that you live in or is she going to have to commute?  Did you ever get the huge snowfall you were expecting?  I love that prayer you posted.  I wish I could find one like that to say for my Sisters.

Carleen - Do you still have your houseful?  How many lambs are you expecting?  Is it like when cows give birth and you have to be out there to help and keep them warm so they don't die from the cold?

Like I said, I'm sorry for being so nosy.  It's just that your lives are infinitely more interesting than mine.   ;)   8)  And where is Bernadette?

The Bird has flown the coop.

No Dymph, I don't have to be out there for the sheep. Son has  got all the moms separated into their own stalls. Each stall is roomy and has warm water and lots of straw, plus, of course, hay for the girls to eat. Last year we caught the ram scooping up the babies and throwing them around. Lucky we caught him before he killed them! That will not happen this year.

My daughter's not going to university. She tried a couple of times but just wasn't that interested. She's moving back home so she can save more $$$ to buy a house.  :)

Oh, no!  My husband and older kids tend to all that  :). He enjoys doing that with them, and they with him.  I love having property and animals, but it's just not feasible for me to really keep any of it up.  I'll tend to stuff if he's out of town, and there's a problem, but other than just enjoying the sight of them grazing, all I have to do is enjoy the bacon, steaks, and roasts  ;). I would like chickens, though....I think I could manage it, and enjoy doing it.

Husband grew up in the country; I grew up in the city.  He has really fond memories of his childhood, and his Grandpa had cows that he would help with.  He really wanted that for his kids, too, so that's what we are doing.  It's a peaceful, simple life, and I have really grown to love it.

My family are all CINO  :(.  Growing up in the 70s and 80s, and going to the local parochial school, I'm sure that's no surprise.  His parents and three siblings are traditional Catholics like us, for which I am very grateful. They were somewhat of a springboard for us finding tradition.  They moved to the Latin Mass before we did.

ETA: also, since husband travels a lot off and on, he has the animals set up to be pretty self-sustaining with food and and water, so kids and I don't have to do anything when he's gone. Though, issues still happen sometimes.  It comes with the territory.  I remember a few years ago being big and pregnant.  Husband was out of the country, and a police knocked on my door at 6 am, because she was doing rounds and noticed a cow had busted a fence and was out....that was fun

I saw the movie, Far From the Maddening Crowd last week on TV and was horrified at the scene where the herding dog knocked down the fence and all the sheep just followed one another over the cliff!  :'(

I think there's some cold grits still in the pot.  Feel free to warm them up, if you like.  I'm not getting out of bed, though.  No coffee....just hot, herbal tea and Gatorade.  Plenty of fluids!  We have several of us sick today.  It's a pajama/movie/fend for yourself kind of day.

Coarse ground cornmeal.  Boiled with butter, salt, and pepper.  I usually add some chopped ham and cheese.  Today, I cracked a couple of raw eggs in them, after they were cooked, and whisked the eggs.....like egg drop grits

I've made homemade Gatorade before.  I liked it; the kids were unsure.  Maybe if I tried again and called it haymakers punch, and put a Little House spin on it, they would be more open to it.  But, just as a Gatorade substitute.....no go

Found it! On the thread in the prayer intentions for her blood clots...

Quote
I am all set up at u of m. All the tests I had done in Jackson will be redone at the university. I guess they only accept tests done in house. So on Tuesday I have a whole battery of tests being run, plus visit with vascular surgeon. Case will be decided as to how and where to go from here. Because of the rib removal it is going to require an ortho surgeon too.

No surgery today. Just bunches of imaging testing. No when I have surgery they will keep me in hospital for 7 days. Surgery is Monday the 27th. It will be a difficult long surgery, because of the aneurysm.

I am somewhat scared Lydia. As I understand it, they will remove 2 muscles and a rib, and do a bypass on the aneurysm using artery from my leg. Yes, this scares me, but I am told I have a very good specialist who I found trustworthy and kind. Not big headed at all which really would not matter as long as he knew what he was doing. It's just nice that he seems to be a good man, too. Feb 27 is surgery date. Don't know time yet.I try to not focus on this. Just makes me anxious.

That sounds like a fairly major operation to me.  It is only natural that you would be at least a little scared. Thank goodness you have a very good specialist who is also a good man!

How are you feeling about the surgery/recovery/etc.?  Pretty confident?  Nervous?  (Probably both confident and nervous and everything in-between...)

:grouphug:

I am somewhat scared Lydia. As I understand it, they will remove 2 muscles and a rib, and do a bypass on the aneurysm using artery from my leg. Yes, this scares me, but I am told I have a very good specialist who I found trustworthy and kind. Not big headed at all which really would not matter as long as he knew what he was doing. It's just nice that he seems to be a good man, too. Feb 27 is surgery date. Don't know time yet.I try to not focus on this. Just makes me anxious.

I'm sorry, Carleen, I don't blame you for being somewhat scared.  I'm happy to hear you'll be in good hands with your specialist, though, and that he made such a positive impression on you.  Honestly, I think it can matter when a specialist is not big headed -- to me, that can indicate someone who knows even moreso what they're doing, and who won't be too prideful to call in another opinion, or some backup, if necessary.  Well, I'll stop there -- I don't want to add to any anxiety.  I bet before you know it all this will be come and gone and you'll be out enjoying the spring flowers and whatnot!

Thanks Lydia. You are a peach. And I am just trying to focus on the fix. I will be in there for hours and my only job is to sleep. I think I can manage that. There may be several surgeons in there, so I don't think mine will be short on help. Just trying to keep my eyes on the prize. A hand arm and shoulder that functions well again. Plus proper blood flow. Maybe more energy and putting in my normal garden again this year.

The hospital is so huge I hope I can find my way to where the surgery takes place! May God bless you and all that takes   the time to say a quick prayer for me that day. You are thoughtful and kind lydia.

Morning! The weather's been great this week, so I walked to Mass on Tuesday and today. There's a church on a sort of sketchy street that I can get to with 7 minutes driving or 35 minutes walking. Gives me time to pray and enjoy the sunrise.  :)



*the Mass is NO, but it's said reverently and it's better than not going to Mass at all.

It is almost 11:30. Get out of your jammies. Breath deep with arms up. Touch toes. Twice. Now, get a cuppa and get going! It may take a few tries, but who cares? Some have been on  the go for hours. This day can not pass by without progress. Really we should get something done everyday. Even if it's wrong ;)

Worked all day yesterday filing my income taxes and teaching my youngest daughter how to do hers. Spent the day before cleaning and organizing my desk so that I could file our taxes! LOL

Today I taught my youngest son how to file his income taxes.  And this afternoon I'll be filling out the Federal Aid Forms so that my two college age kids can get financial aid next year.

I'm feeling ever so productive! ;D

Hi my friend! Happy hellos. I think your offerings are for "go to bed" my dear. You have your nite and days messed up. But that's ok. Offeringservices are generosity. You are so generous and kind.

Yes, my FSSP is only 20 minutes away.  Used to live 45 minutes away but we moved closer in October. 

Due to health issues, I was unable to attend even Sunday Mass for most of the Fall.  And winter is always a challenge for me.  But my health is ever so much better now.  So I have no excuse not to go more often than on Sundays, except for my love of sleeping in!

Why, you are a blessed woman, Orate! I would give my arm to have a FSSP 20 min away. That would be amazing! I would like to think I'd be right there, often as possible making weekday Masses. I truly understand health issues. This has been a terrible year beginning with stroke day before mothers day...up til now. Will it end? With me still alive? I know not, Thank God. But, I have had the blessing of making almost all my Sunday Masses. Gratitude aplenty for each day. A celebration in my heart. Too much unfinished business. But, that's from an earthly standpoint. God's will is better than anything I may think important. Right?

It's not my business to stick my nose into your affairs or conversations, but I have to say, Miss Carleen, you are so right!  God bless both of you ladies!  This is what the young people need to see.  You do what you have to do and God comes first!  God will take care of everything whether you like it or not, so set your dial to love and go to work.   :beer:
Title: Re: Good Morning!!
Post by: orate on February 20, 2017, 03:46:29 PM
I understand what you are saying, Carleen.  Last fall when I could hardly move 2 feet without getting short of breath, and when I was not sure if I would collapse every time I stood up, I was not sure if that would remain my permanent condition.  After 2 hospitalizations, the docs weren't really sure what all was going on with me.  All the tests told me what it wasn't but not what it was.

It was a deeply depressing time for me.  I prayed daily for the grace to accept God's Will for me, knowing that acceptance would bring many graces.  But as is human nature, I wanted to get better.

Well, after changes in diet, exercise and medication, my heart rate finally, over a few months,  slowed back down to normal.  By the grace of God, I am able to move and walk better without getting short of breath.  So as long as it it is not freezing cold, or icy, I have no excuse not to go to Mass more often.   I know how much I missed the Mass, when I was unable to attend.  It's just pure laziness if I don't go when the weather is as nice as it has been here.  But alas, sloth is one of my primary faults.

It's not my business to stick my nose into your affairs or conversations, but I have to say, Miss Carleen, you are so right!  God bless both of you ladies!  This is what the young people need to see.  You do what you have to do and God comes first!  God will take care of everything whether you like it or not, so set your dial to love and go to work.   :beer:

Dymphna, just jab that nose in anytime you want, my friend. I love your input!

Orate, you have been through a severe trial, I see. And to not know what was wrong with you? Wow. Really, wow. They didn't find anything wrong with your heart?  Surprised. I would think what you described as heart related.No wonder you did not stick your head in hardly at all. You could have put in a prayer request. We could have been praying for you. That was a great suffering. Did you go from active to not. And was walking painful or just breathtaking? Did heart hurt? Headaches, spins? Can't believe you got on top of it with diet change and exercise. I'doing be afraid exercise might throw BP off the charts. I'm glad you are back, phsically. God bless.

Got up early today and made it to Mass.  Let's see how long that lasts!

Good for orate. Do you have a local daily tlm? Just wondering. We dont. Thanks for a pic. I think we should have one every day. Jayne used to supply them but her care schedule for parent does not allow her to get in here in the morning.

Yes, my FSSP is only 20 minutes away.  Used to live 45 minutes away but we moved closer in October. 

Due to health issues, I was unable to attend even Sunday Mass for most of the Fall.  And winter is always a challenge for me.  But my health is ever so much better now.  So I have no excuse not to go more often than on Sundays, except for my love of sleeping in!

Why, you are a blessed woman, Orate! I would give my arm to have a FSSP 20 min away. That would be amazing! I would like to think I'd be right there, often as possible making weekday Masses. I truly understand health issues. This has been a terrible year beginning with stroke day before mothers day...up til now. Will it end? With me still alive? I know not, Thank God. But, I have had the blessing of making almost all my Sunday Masses. Gratitude aplenty for each day. A celebration in my heart. Too much unfinished business. But, that's from an earthly standpoint.

They did finally diagnose diastolic heart failure secondary to a genetic kidney disorder that I have.  But basically this  diagnosis was made after the medication helped.  And yes, I did not stick my head in because the lack of oxygen made my brain fuzzy as a duckling, so sitting at the computer was tiring.  I wasn't the most active of folks and the docs prescribed physical therapy to help me to regain my stamina.  Walking was breathtaking as my heart rate would jump up to 150-160 with minimal exertion, but never painful.

I had already begun a weight loss regimen before this all started, which I continue.  (I am a big lady.)  I'm also religious about keeping my sodium intake to under 2 Gms a day.  This and the medications I'm on including BP meds, and especially God's grace have helped me to get well.  My heartrate is now in the 70's to 80's.  BP is normal and I'm able to move more and more each day without shortness of breath.

Wow Orate, sounds like you have fought your way to better health. Your efforts and God's grace be praised! I am so glad things have turned around and you can enjoy life again. No matter what I have going on, I enjoy life and the people in my life who care about me enough to pray when these things, like I have going on right now, come up. We just deal with one thing at a time and spend as much time as possible not worrying about them. I have to discipline my thoughts so they are not overrun by my fears and self focus. So far I'm not enjoying my oldster years, except for all the grandkids, now don't get me started on my grandkids and how perfect they are....did I tell you they are perfect?  8)

By the grace of God, made it to Mass and Rosary today.  If I knew it was rainy before I got dressed, I probably would have stayed home.  Scared I'll fall when it is slick.  But God must have really wanted me there today.  Father will be out of town til Thursday afternoon, so this lazy girl can sleep in for the next 2 days!

Orate, you are not lazy....getting up to hit daily mass tells me so. Plus enjoying a couple mornings sleeping in does not mean lazy. I would be labeled lazy because I sleep as long as I can. Usually until 8 or 8 30. I'll find out how much is due to blood flow problems after they fix me. Lol. Or am I just lazy. But at least you get up and go. Then come back and post. I have spent a lot of time in bed since the picnic table fell on me in Nov. Just how much was not of my control will be seen.

I've only done it these last 2 days---hardly a pattern---but I am just so grateful to be able to get up and move again and we've had unseasonably warm weather here, so I'm able to go outside without the cold air taking my breath away!  I feel like God has given me another chance to attend the Mass I love so much, and missed so much when I could not go.  So when I can, I'm going to try to make the effort to get there, though the devil tried mighty hard to convince me not to go this morning.  But God's grace won out. 

I think God wants me to pray for you this week as well, since I thought of you and prayed for you both days,

Oh dymph, as usual, you ask all the right questions. Yes kids and hubby have a bit of fear for me, so we joke it away. That's our tool for anxiety. Husband is ever at my service. I am truly hundred by that. Kids have been checking in on me and they are praying. Thanks God for my family. I don't deserve God's sweet graces, but he keeps them coming, none the less. You Dymphna, are too good to me, too. Thanks for checking in. That way I know you are minimally, ok.

It's almost 5:00 am!  "Get up, get up, you sleepy heads, get up, get up, get out of bed!  It's time to rise and shine and thank God for another day!"  A little sing song I used to sing to the girls.  Sasha was always the sleepy head.  But when she got up, she would clap and giggle and use the sign language asking for more.  It was so cute.  She would stand up in her crib and dance back and forth and try to say the words.  Sage would jump in and help her.  Sweet memories.l

DYMPH, is probably standing there in her jeans, debating on whether to take her Harley for a spin. Orate is figuring out which lean cuisine to have for lunch. Bernadette is just now wiping the sleep from her eyes. Munda, well she's busy because she always is. MLG, she fixing her IV. CHES, he's just trying to get someone to remove his glasses so he can take a nap. Lynne, she's working hard, but slipping in from time to time to see what's new. Jayne is graciously caring for her mother and father. Checking in but, hidden. Non is busy trying to come up with some wonderful low calorie breakfast. And looking at the chores screaming at her. Me I am just laying on my side gossiping.

Does anyone here know how to make Pina Coladas?  I was trying to think of something that would be creamy and good, like what you all are having.  The best Pina Colada I ever had was in Portsmouth, Virginia, just on the other side of the bridge of Norfolk.  A couple of friends of ours got their Income Tax check back and were treating us to a fancy dinner and then a movie.  I ordered a Pina Colada, which quickly became the belle of the ball.  The waiter brought it out like a peacock struts out with it's gorgeous feathers in full display.  He put it down in front of me  and my mouth fell open.  I was 17 yo and the only one at the table that wasn't carded, so I already felt like I was getting away with something.  When he came out with this huge, beautiful drink, I thought for sure they knew and I was going to be in trouble.  But nope, this beauty was all mine to enjoy.

This drink was made with all fresh ingredients and home made ice cream.  The pineapple was fresh, as was the coconut.  They used fresh cream as well.  I've never tasted one like it again, and it's not for the lack of trying.   :lol:   8)

Wish I could still have coffee and alcohol.  The smell of good coffee just drives me wild.  Will occasionally have a cuppa decaf, but it's just not the same.   :(  As for alcohol, I'm on so many meds, I'm afraid that if I drank even one, I might not ever breathe again.

But I'm good for a coffee cake if we need one this morning.  And I just love getting together no matter what the reason!  ;D

That's my kind of girl. Know your limits. Enjoy the things you CAN do. I can still have alcohol. Hubby has wine, I have vodka. It funny I went my whole marriage drinking rarely. Then when my health got more complicated 2 months ago I started having a large drink every nite. My doctor knows. It's helpful with pain and sleeping. I can do it. So now I do. My coffee helps some of my drugs work faster. Especially pain pills. Which I am out of. But all the more to offer up. Plus I will get something after surgery. I have trigeminal neuralgia. The drugs help my teeth so I can chew . Plus TN Makes face and head hurt. Cure is to cut out part of my skull. Not ready for that. So, vodka works at nite.

That's the awesome part of this being virtual.  You can eat all the coffee cake you want and never gain a pound.  You can have alcohol and not worry about it mixing with your meds.  So here, have a cup of piping hot super coffee with a touch of Bailey's for you.  Sit back, put your feet up, and relax.   :beer:   8)

Morning all. Please sit get a cup and sit down at our new coffee table. I finally have a place for you to set your cups down. Orare was kind enough to offer this most delicate piece so let's be careful. There is a little tykes here for the kids. Birdie has made known that she has a stocked bar for go to bed. I know.... This is exciting....Plus end tables. Now she hasn't offered them yet, but I believe that's coming. So get up. Get going.

Remember, this is a virtual party where I can have hot coffee with Baileys.  So our virtual glass table is indestructible.  So let the little ones have at it while their moms and grandmoms sit and enjoy their coffee klatsch.

Good idea , Munda. One year I got a poster of Christ with the crown of thorns. We glued it to a piece of styrogfoam. We filled it with tooth picks. Every good deed done by the children allowed them to remove a tooth pick to bring Christ relief. Worked well. Kids liked the idea of sparing our Lord pain.

We do something similar.  We make a crown of thorns out of salt dough, and put toothpicks in it for the thorns, which are removed by prayers and sacrifices.  It stays on our dining room table all through Lent.  Then, on Easter morning, the jar with the crown of thorns turns into sweets.  The miracle of God's grace!  He turns our sacrifices into something better.

Yep.  I can't remember exactly when we started, but the oldest few were pretty young.  It's always interesting to me to see them really get it that our sins are the thorns.  It stirs up real sorrow and purpose of amendment.

My friend with the 13 kids and I made Lenten calendars (like the Advent ones) for several years, but this idea of making a crown of thorns with dough and then using toothpicks is brilliant!  It's much more visual, which, with little ones makes much more of an impact. Did they have to put toothpicks in when they had done something wrong?  Or are they just thorns because of the Crown of Thorns?

I can kind of see it both ways, which is why I asked.  I know of people who were taught about hell by placing their hands over a lit candle.  Some were deeply affected by it in a good way, some were horrified and claim they lost their Faith because of it.  To me, if anything, this would just be in the middle, mild but effective.  But I'm not raising children, so, there's that.   :shrug:

Good morning,everyone.

I'd be careful about putting toothpicks in for sins, especially with the very young. 

When I was about 4 I had a catechism book that said that sinning was like hammering nails into the tree.  One could pull them out but the holes still remained.  Right above it was a picture of Jesus' face with the crown of thorns.  My child's mind mixed up the two images, thinking that when I sinned I was pounding nails into our Lord's head. 

It saddened me so much that I had nightmares for days about pounding nails into our Lord's holy head.

Dymphna, I can always count on you flying in with some uplift or funny contribution to the thread! Orate, lynne, non, birdie, mlg, munda, and Ches, and many I missed . Thanks for your sweet contributions!

You mean like this?

Well it didn't kill me. I guess I must be stronger. Thanks Dymphna!   ;)

You know, when I first saw that picture I thought: "Oh, how cute! The mouse is working out using the mousetrap!" But looking at it again, I find it sort of unsettling because the mouse really does look like he's...dead.  :o Now I'm conflicted.  :-\

You're definitely an over-thinker  ;D

It's a blessing. And a curse.  :tinfoil: The curse is the "over" and the blessing is the "thinking." Look, I'm doing it again.  ::) It's like I just can't turn it off!   :shrug:

Same here. Like I've been struggling through this whole page not to say something about how much I hate this expression, "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" because it's just not true! Some things make you stronger, but others cause lifelong debilitation!

I really wish that I were able to thank this every time I re-read it. That "post head" thing that Jayne mentioned a while back, where she has to get up to post something that's occurred to her or she can't sleep? That was me, all night last night. I couldn't stop thinking about stuff, and had to keep writing things down on a notepad, just to get the thoughts "resolved." It was like my brain suddenly decided: "Hey, I don't get enough to do around here. How 'bout we change that?" The good news is, all of the "entries" still made sense when I re-read them later. All 20 of them.  :P

Carleen, I hope you get some good rest tonight.  Although it's probably annoying having to stay in the hospital an extra (early) night, at least you don't have to worry about getting lost in the huge hospital, or being late to your surgery, huh?!  I'll be checking in and very happy when I see you're back on here -- I know everything's going to go great, and you'll be back to pitching fast balls in no time!

Going to have to open this thread up myself I guess

At Columbia for tests then going to skilled nursing facility for 2 nights so my wife can catch up on sleep, if that's even possible with a 6 year old and a 6 month old.  Trying to have a good attitude about it but still difficult being away from home and PTSD has been in high gear not up to dealing with awhole new set of caregivers

That's why you, in particular, seem to need the security of obedience: you need to be able to trust someone else to keep you on the right path, the way that your son trusts you.

Hospitals: perfect dens of penance, with so little fear that you'll be driven by your own will to anything dangerous. They're like the layman's version of the monastery! You're on RETREAT, Carleen, you lucky thing!!  :eek:

Haha, it's a retreat all right


I think I'd rather go on the kind where you get to walk around some rural countryside

I mean, I think we all would, really, but the great thing about not choosing is that we don't have to worry about choosing "wrong." ;) And we would, wouldn't we? ;)

I still worry about wrong choices in current circumstances

Come to my house Ches! We'll just throw you into the ta do pile and sort you out later 8)

You can bruise gin?  By speaking harshly to it?  Or punching it in the throat?  Is gin the one that is made with juniper berries?  Now I've got to You Tube the making of gin.

I sometimes go back and forth with text and AAC and text to speech which take forever

Could be worse the staff here are very attentive and respectful which is good and I'm on some anciety meds which are helping

Just hoping they all managing ok at home and my son's blood sugar gets really low when he's sick so a little worried about him

Ok, most everyone should be home from church now. Hope you enjoyed your holy day obligation.

Allright, that being said, I noticed a little 9:00 pm madness going on. Hat and Beard is really not to blame and maybe, just maybe I am acting like a spoiled child  :rofl: but....why did the conversations going on in hat and beards post, not get directed to the proper thread? Far be it from me to get jealous or catty, but...tell me honestly, is "go to bed" getting old? Has it lost its charm? I can take it, but be honest Ches, Birdie, and each of you, you know who you are, that participated in "its 9:00  on a Saturday night and i am here on the forum" just say the word and we shut this gig down. Yup, I don't want to hold anyone hostage to "go to bed". Been thinking about this. It may just be sending a message I need to hear. But I need clarity, honesty and direct direction here. Should we? Should we just shut it down on a good note?  Hit me. Again. Straight talk needed here. I don't want a single sympathetic happy Clappy  picture sent here.

WAIT A MINUTE, RABBIT!  WAIT A DARN SECOND! This post belongs in "go to bed". Oh my, now what do I do? Well  just answer here I guess.

Ches, I'm not having any alcohol. I am on morphine. I don't need anything more. Other than advil or tylenol.

I am so sad about wife and more time away. I will offer up for you my boy. I still have plenty even on mophine. I can't believe, even with that it is not enough for comfort. It really is controling, but comfort is still delicate right now. Wife children and you......offering up. Now, don't get crazy. There is no ram therapy. Lambs are good therapy.  Still waiting for the next batch to be born.

You have my permission to be harsh, because I know you love me. Besides, I was just acting up. You know how troublesome patients can be. Not for a second was I serious. Except I really do want to hear the nice things you said. There, I am an idiot. No vodka for me, dymph. It will have to keep.My dog, should be on my bed sleeping with me .But he won't because he was taught not to get on beds. My ram would probably get on my bed and stomp my colar bone.

Ches, I'm not having any alcohol. I am on morphine. I don't need anything more. Other than advil or tylenol.

I am so sad about wife and more time away. I will offer up for you my boy. I still have plenty even on mophine. I can't believe, even with that it is not enough for comfort. It really is controling, but comfort is still delicate right now. Wife children and you......offering up. Now, don't get crazy. There is no ram therapy. Lambs are good therapy.  Still waiting for the next batch to be born.

Imon fentanyl and it takes the edge off but the side effects are sometimes painful inthemselves

Can make you tired

Ok, most everyone should be home from church now. Hope you enjoyed your holy day obligation.

One of my options for Mass is at 3 pm.  When I attend this one I get home around 5.

We have one choice within an hour and that is 12:15. Which I love since getting going takes me longer! Do you like a 3:00 mass?

It is not a good time for me.  I'm a morning person.  I am really drowsy and find it difficult to focus at that time.  My favourite time among my local options is 7:30.  There is also a 10 am one and I function reasonably well then.

I got to sit next to that cute toddler again. His mother was there, so I felt very comfortable.  And he was just a treat.  ;D Plus, he distracted me from the homily, which was a good thing today. ;)

And as long as you keep posting in your threads, Carleen, I'll probably keep posting in them, too. I'll talk to anyone who'll listen to me, these days, and I particularly love talking to you. ;)

Honestly, I feel like my brain is working so much these days that I'm practically...idk, regressing or something [Edit: at least, in figuring out which way of learning certain things is easiest].

So sorry carleen.  Not a medical emergency, I'm afraid, but recovery from major surgery and heavy duty doping of the pain, really disrupts our systems.  Don't worry your taste for coffee will return as you get better.

On the phone (on hold) with Dell.  Why? Oh why? do they make it so hard to return a defective item?  They wanted to have me talk to tech support--a big no since tech support can hardly speak English.  I told them that if it is defective right out of the box, I want to return it for a refund.

I thought you all drank coffee for the camaraderie of it.  Now I'm starting to think you really like  the way the stuff tastes.  Orate is proof that you can actually miss the flavor when you can't drink it anymore.  So I apologize for lumping you all into the same basket like a bunch of eggs.  I cannot, however, apologize for your having bad taste.   :P   :lol:   8)

I love the taste.  Especially with a LOT of milk and sugar. :):):)

When I was little and Mom was in the right mood, we got to have "coffee" together.  She would break out the special china teacups and saucers and we got a couple of tablespoons of coffee with our milk and sugar.  Sometimes we would even play dress-up for it.  I tried getting used to coffee that way when  I was older (with more milk and sugar than coffee), but it was a no go.

Yes, ches, one week check up. Probably remove tapes on wounds.

I am in great pain. Not much difference. Which could just be negative attitude. Maybe some has left.

Sounds like you actually had an interesting day yeterday. I'll bet Friday can't get here soon enough. Aren't you glad the illness doesn't have to run through 8 children!

Good Morning Viet...er...Everybody!!!!  It is still morning and I am awake instead of just going to sleep.  God is so good to me!

It looks like the wind is finally letting up here, thank you God.  The last couple of days were crazy wind days here.  There were semi tractor trailers literally being blown over!  Not to mention it whipping the wild fires into a frenzy.  And don't get me started on crazy hair!  It was as if we had been riding the bike trying to brush it out last night.  I see now that it's out of the south at around 5 mph.  We'll take it! 

Hope everybody's morning gets better soon.  Your vent has a circuit, Ches?  I thought they were all connected to a machine that hung on a pole and plugged into an outlet in the wall.  This must give you more autonomy, right?

I'm really sorry you are still in so much pain, Carleen.  Wish I could take it for you, you too, Ches and Orate, all of you who are suffering so much, but God wants you with Him and He knows what He's doing, so I'll let Him.  Yes, I said that as if I had a choice.   :lol:  I hate to see you all have to go through this, though.  :pray3:

The vent circuit is the tubing that connects the ventilator to the trach,  as well as other stuff like speaking valves, inline suction etc.  at home i have 2 ventilators,one is on the pole next to my bed,and the other one is mounted to my chair and runs on a rechargable battery.  or youcan plug it into the wheelchair itself and it will charge

here,i use the hospital vnt while in bed and use my own vent mounted to my chair.  going back and forth between different types of vents is weird though.  it has its own way of "breathing" for you so even if the mode is comparable,it isnt 100% the same

Wow!  That would be really weird.  To have to mentally adjust from one to the other, would be a pain, much less the body, I would think.  Sorry to keep peppering you with questions, but I really would like to understand.  Does the vent breath for you 24/7 or does it just kick in if you are having difficulty?

Brother ass is what St. Francis called his body. The joy is not giddy, it more like peace and satisfaction that is given as grace through reception of sacraments and resignation I guess. Not sure that is theologically correct but it is how I describe the feeling deep down in my soul. Joy is completely separated from the pains and suffering in daily life. It doesn't really fluctuate much unless I allow events to steal it from me. More compared to the Mark on our soul by certain sacraments, just a comparrison. Again probably not theological, merely what makes sense to me.

Good morning everyone!

That's me. I am finally moving. Thanks for opening the thread. Someone kept the ram off my chest last nite because the pain is just a little less today. Stupid bad, but a tad better. Way overslept the 12 hour med . Should take at 8 am. It's less windy. Sunny. Still waiting for last ewe to drop her babies. It's fun in my barn.  Grandkids coming to clean my house today. Yahoo. It will be fun!

When I first got my trach in November, iwas in the ICU for a coupleof days and the vent was doing all the work but i think it is because surgery takes so much out of me.  Then I was able to get off the vent for a few hours during the day, and most of the time I was hooked up to it, it was only in pressure support mode which is similarto bipap. what happens is,you initiate the breaths,but it ensures that youre taking enough air in,and  what it can do is supplement the work of breathing that your body is already doing.     but as time has gone on,ihave had to spend more time using volume controlled modes too.  at this point, I can't go off the vent and require some degree of respiratory support 24/7.

theychange my vent settings on a regular basis because with progressive illness,your needs are always changing.  one day you can doit the next day, youcant.  fighting the vent becomes less of an issue when the muscles stop working.  most of the time, it just does its thing and i am doing less and less of the work

it can sense ifyou're initiating a breath,and it will deliver a breath at that time, and makesure it is a full breath, 15 breaths per minute  so if youre not initiating all those breaths it will make sureyou're getting them.  it also has a "sigh" feature which will make the vent "sigh" at random times.  apparentlythis has benefits because your lungs overinflateor something like that.  soevery so often, the vent will "sigh" which is weird...i'll sit there like..."what wasthat??"

or i'll be talking and all of thesudden, I have to wait for it to finish what it's doing

sighing is something people do a lot when they're frustrated, bored, stressed, or sad...  so it's kind of weird when it's "automatic"

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.  I have to say, this is fascinating.  The strides that have been made in medicine to give people a quality of life is nothing short of miraculous.  They have machines that will be muscles for you when yours no longer act as such.  And the vent doesn't force or manipulate your muscles to work, it does the work of the muscles for you.  Or if it senses your muscles attempting to do the job themselves, it will only kick in if they can't.  That is nothing short of amazing.

To be honest with you, Ches, for a variety of reasons, I have found myself questioning whether it was always a good idea to "save" everyone using modern medicine, or not.  But from the little I know about you, and the methods being utilized to keep you going, I'm really glad they are there.

Maybe you've already said it and I missed it, but which ribs did they take out?

The ribs were my top and next one down. My brother wanted a cross made with them! He will be so dissapointed!

Left open. But they also took the scalene muscles in shoulder near collarbone. All to make room for subclavian artery to pass through a small space which was made smaller by my extra rib plus upper rib, and shoulder muscles. So they cut out artery replace aneurysm balloon  with prosthetic artery.

Some of us do not get muffins. But we think about them. Morning Ches. How's the pain? Been thinking about your neurontin. They are using it for your seizures as well as nerve pain right? Woke up early with no way to change position to relieve ribless pain. So gave in and took pills out of time. Not supposed to take first dose until 8.
yeah i think i hae been on neurontin since the summer...i think?  It has helped,although periodically whatever seizure med cocktail they put me on stops workign and then all of a sudden they have todo something else, or up my dose..  seizures have been getting worse over time and harder to control right now,even with meds i still get occasional ones.

i msorry it is so hard to move.  when do you start physical therapy?  hoping it starts to subside soon!!

IKR? I think it's the little smile on the ram's face as he barrels through the punching bag that really does it for me. And I save cute/funny stuff to look when I'm feeling down, at all the time. I frequent r/awww daily, for a little pick-me-up and quick smile. My uncle did the same thing on other sites, and loved to show me funny pictures he'd found.  :thumbsup:

That ram gif is hilarious!  I love how ticked off he gets when the bag comes back and nails him in the back side.  He's so indignant!

I am on neurontin to ease the pain of the migraines as well as to hopefully prevent them.  I've become dehydrated while taking it a couple of times and well, let's just say, "I see dead people."  But it's the first time in many years that I've been able to develop some semblance of a normal sleep pattern.  I have to go 'round robin's barn to make that happen and take a hit for it every once in a while, but sleep deprivation is one of my biggest migraine triggers, so I'm going to keep loping around that barn!

A new rash?  That doesn't sound good Carleen.  Be sure to pay attention to what is going on with it.   Maybe even write down any changes.  Hopefully it won't last long and it won't end up in your wound or throat and sinuses.  That would be some bad mamajama.

Your vent has a circuit, Ches?  I thought they were all connected to a machine that hung on a pole and plugged into an outlet in the wall.  This must give you more autonomy, right?

The vent circuit is the tubing that connects the ventilator to the trach,  as well as other stuff like speaking valves, inline suction etc.  at home i have 2 ventilators,one is on the pole next to my bed,and the other one is mounted to my chair and runs on a rechargable battery.  or youcan plug it into the wheelchair itself and it will charge

here,i use the hospital vnt while in bed and use my own vent mounted to my chair.  going back and forth between different types of vents is weird though.  it has its own way of "breathing" for you so even if the mode is comparable,it isnt 100% the same

Wow!  That would be really weird.  To have to mentally adjust from one to the other, would be a pain, much less the body, I would think.  Sorry to keep peppering you with questions, but I really would like to understand.  Does the vent breath for you 24/7 or does it just kick in if you are having difficulty?


When I first got my trach in November, iwas in the ICU for a coupleof days and the vent was doing all the work but i think it is because surgery takes so much out of me.  Then I was able to get off the vent for a few hours during the day, and most of the time I was hooked up to it, it was only in pressure support mode which is similarto bipap. what happens is,you initiate the breaths,but it ensures that youre taking enough air in,and  what it can do is supplement the work of breathing that your body is already doing.     but as time has gone on,ihave had to spend more time using volume controlled modes too.  at this point, I can't go off the vent and require some degree of respiratory support 24/7.

theychange my vent settings on a regular basis because with progressive illness,your needs are always changing.  one day you can doit the next day, youcant.  fighting the vent becomes less of an issue when the muscles stop working.  most of the time, it just does its thing and i am doing less and less of the work

it can sense ifyou're initiating a breath,and it will deliver a breath at that time, and makesure it is a full breath, 15 breaths per minute  so if youre not initiating all those breaths it will make sureyou're getting them.  it also has a "sigh" feature which will make the vent "sigh" at random times.  apparentlythis has benefits because your lungs overinflateor something like that.  soevery so often, the vent will "sigh" which is weird...i'll sit there like..."what wasthat??"

or i'll be talking and all of thesudden, I have to wait for it to finish what it's doing

sighing is something people do a lot when they're frustrated, bored, stressed, or sad...  so it's kind of weird when it's "automatic"

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.  I have to say, this is fascinating.  The strides that have been made in medicine to give people a quality of life is nothing short of miraculous.  They have machines that will be muscles for you when yours no longer act as such.  And the vent doesn't force or manipulate your muscles to work, it does the work of the muscles for you.  Or if it senses your muscles attempting to do the job themselves, it will only kick in if they can't.  That is nothing short of amazing.

To be honest with you, Ches, for a variety of reasons, I have found myself questioning whether it was always a good idea to "save" everyone using modern medicine, or not.  But from the little I know about you, and the methods being utilized to keep you going, I'm really glad they are there.

i'm still not always sure if it is/was a good idea.  it is an ethical dilemma that goes through my head often.  I think that if I were just a single guy I'd probably have called it quits already... or if my children were older. 

"quality of life" is a tricky thing... i think many people could not find a way to live the way I live.  I do not always have an easy time coping.   But i think knowing that you have a lack of "quantity of life" does ante up the "quality of life"because you dont really want to waste time thats limited.  plus no temptation to be like "oh, i'll just go to confession later"


and i think my older son has had more time with me in the  6 years hes been around than all the time i spent with my dad combined (and he died when i was 17.  we are defiitely closer and have a deeper connection.  so theres that.  but at the same time,he doesnt learn many skills from me that most boys learn from their dads.  cant even teach him piano anymore but my friend comesto our house once a week to teach him and i got to sit on one f his lessons today.  I still have 2 pianos so they each got their own.  he is blowing through book 2

STOP, CHES!!! You're breaking my heart!!!  I celebrate each day you're here. I know what you say is true. That 6 year old will remember so much about his dad. He'll help the baby "remember" dad. You know how stories sometimes turn into memories. I know that is the case with my own childhood memories. I wish you really were my child, but I'm not as strong and healthy as your mom. She can do so much for you. I have people waiting on my sorry butt. But I at least have recovery ahead of me. You have only hope of a miracle. Which hubby and I pray for each day for you. I will not lose faith if all the miracles I ask for for people I love do not happen, but I will continue asking. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

When you tell what's happening at home I'm struck by the normalness you have despite all the monitors, wires, tubes. I love that. Yes, I do hope you can stay awake for priest coming. Can't wait till wifey is home for leave. She can  cook and nurse and do all the momma things she loves. Just take a quickie nap now so awake later.

Can't wait to get this shoulder function again! Still falling asleep at every turn and in much pain, but it seems I Mean turning the proverbial corner! Hubby just ran out to buy me a frozen coffee drink. That ought a help, huh? So good to see you lynne.

Hey, look! I get to open up shop, this morning.  ;D

Coffee's on the stove, for those who care to partake. Cocoa and tea also available. And plenty of leftover carrot cake. The healthy cake. The cake so healthy, you can eat it for breakfast and actually think that you're doing something good for yourself. ;)

Did you go to sleep?  Ah, carrot cake!  One of my favorites.  Cream cheese frosting?  I don't care for frosting that much and usually scrape it off, but cream cheese frosting on carrot cake is a whole different ball of wax.  Yummy!

My aunt puts orange zest in her cream cheese frosting, for carrot cake. And she uses less sugar than most people, so it's not cloyingly sweet.  :thumbsup:

:lol: They didn't give me my wisdom teeth, either. Kind of disappointed me, honestly.

Oh bird, that is just bad business! Really, unless your tooth was taken out in pieces.
IKR? It would have been so fascinating, to be able to hold and inspect one that didn't get pushed out by other teeth.  :-\

They did show them to you though, right?  They reminded me of walrus tusks.  :lol:

Nope. Kinda sad really. Hard to find closure, you know? Lol.

Oh, I believe it!  They done you wrong, Carleen.  No doubt about it.   ;D

(And  :-[ I was actually talking about wisdom teeth looking like walrus tusks -- and wondered if the dentist showed Bernadette hers, even if he/she didn't let her inspect them.)

LYDIA ! you're empathy and compassion is like a warm blaket. I will be OK without my ribs. They may have given me a sense of importance I do not need! I would put them in my purse and pull out at every opportunity.  I would forget I'm not all that special. See, it was meant to be, you know, depriving me of my ribs.

Just me and the nurse today.  She's from Nigeria and brings her Bible to read during down time.  I think she is part of some Pentecostal church.  Sings Nigerian hymns in her language all day.  She doesn't do it when I'm sleeping but man... Gives a new meaning to "prays/ without ceasing

And since she sings without ceasing it counts twice

Oh Carleen!  I don't know what to say.  I guess thank you has to do it.  Just think, they both met God, just in different ways.  I hate the saying, but in this case it applies, it's the circle of life.  Deo gratias for having both of them in my life.  I hope and pray to be worthy of such enormous grace.  +RIP+ and thank you for everything Dad (TJ).  I hope and pray you have a long, happy, healthy, and holy life Sophia.

I love how this worked out Dymphna. Yes a wonderful grace to be a godparent and in this case coinciding with death of father. You will never forget this most auspicious occasion. 2 events  of impotence on one day. It's a beautiful thing. Ask dad to pray for goddaughter!

Oh you guys, you're just a wee bit biased because you daily see my good side. My dark side is hidden and kept at bay by the grace of God. it just so happens my joy outweighs my despair. If you knew me before conversion and where I've come from you'd know that the joy in my soul is just a gift. God's gift to me when I realized my call and He met me every step of the way. I am nothing. But I have to be. As nothing, He can make me something. If I bring some sunshine, then He is bringing sunshine because, again, I am nothing, with nothing to give, other than what He allows. This is not bring hard on myself. It's just that I know myself.....and He knows me better. Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself, such as I am, but He always seems to know what to do with me. I'm fine with that. If I require pain to tame my dark side, then so be it. So far, my pain is not lifethreatening. It's just a tool to tame the wild beast that I am   :cheeseheadbeer: :cheeseheadbeer:

Hey Carleen!  Do you think we could get your wild beast to talk to my beasty and teach it how pain is supposed to do good?  Maybe then I could quit whining so much?  One beast to another?   :beer:

Sun shining but do not be deceived! It's cold out there. Snow and cold. Just stay in. If you have a choice. At least until it warms up a bit! Except if you are going out to play. Play is always sllowed. Especially Ches's little guy. He just prayed for snow. He must play in it. He must.

He had a great day frolicking in the snow.  Now today he is back to school... Trains are on their usual schedyle

Good morning all!!! Got to go to doctors this morn. But AL least it close. 35 min away. Just ordinary doc. Guess I have to see her after any hospitalization says my insurance. Well at least I can go over meds. Don't know what else for. But I did want to check into medical marijuana. Just ask some questions about it. Is that bad? Thought maybe it could help. Don't know.

Good morning!!  It's time to rise and shine, right?  RIGHT?  right.  Good morning Ches and family!    :seeya:

It's not bad to ask about medical marijuana.  Especially if it will help.  I had a doctor tell me to go find a drug dealer because she firmly believes marijuana would help my migraines.  She said it does wonders for her Sister who has MS on top of migraines.  It certainly can't hurt to ask.

Here's to a good day, y'all!   :cheeseheadbeer:

Good morning all!

I was going to look into medical marijuana for my shingles pain--yes I had that last Fall while I was in the hospital and pain still persists.  I'd heard that marijuana was especially helpful for nerve pain.  But my 17 y. o. daughter absolutely said, "No!!!"  She didn't want a druggie mama!

Orate, what she doesn't know won't hurt her in this case and may help you. I would keep it on the qt. I would tell no one but my husband who is inclined towards it. He is the only need to know in my book. But that is just my opinion. Plus it dies not have to be smoked. Can be done by capsule. Thanks for pic!

The pain is pretty well controlled with Neurontin now.  So I really don't think I need it at this point

You're talking heavy-duty narcotics and you think talking about lil ole maryjane is causing the thread to get edgy!?!

But seriously, I'm glad you are getting the pain relief you need.  I think that sometimes the pain is worse after you get home than immediately post surgery.  After all, you're moving more, and you no longer have that electric bed to raise you up and the handrails to help you maneuver.  Take the meds as you need them.

A word of advice--stay on a good stool softener cuz those high doses of narcotics slow down the GI tract and you don't want to get plugged up down there.  I did after my hip replacement surgery 5 years ago, and believe me, it wasn't a pretty sight!   :madsmiley: :madsmiley: :madsmiley:

Orate, due to conditions, I will have to take them because my conditions only stay as is or get worse until I die, I will probably always need strong pain relievers.

Neither was I, really.  I was married at 20--a mama at 22.  So mama and nursing is all I know, too.

But DH was a big Cheech and Chong fan--he  wasn't a hippie either--and their sketches skewered the hippie drug culture.  The meme above just kind of reminded me of their humor.

I hope you realize, too, that I never intended to accuse you of abusing narcotics.  I know you need  them to function.  I know I needed them to function before my hip surgery.  Sometimes, when we are online and our tone of voice and facial expressions indicating humor are absent, the humor doesn't get conveyed and misunderstandings occur.

I am sorry if I offended you in any way.

Maybe it would have been clearer if I said, "You're talking about heavy-duty narcotics and you think talking about lil ole maryjane is causing the thread to get edgy!?!"  I realize that "talking" could easily be misread as "taking" and that would be insulting.  Again, I am truly sorry.

No  way Orate. Not for a second did I feel offended. You have to work a lot harder than that to really offend me. It's funny, but somethings will hit my heart when I least expect it. Not very often, but it happens. I've had some forum exchanges put me in tears. But that is very uncommon and most things I do not take personally. I'm not a very special snowflake, but I can be had. But regarding our exchange.....nadda. You are always kind and thoughtful. Except maybe...when you're not  ;) lol

So, what are your plans for this fine day? When in gradeschool, we had guitar Masses, thanks to sister Arlene. Blahhhh. There was a song we sang a lot called "This is the Day that the Lord has Made". We had to endure so many guitar Masses. They even had a name for it...."Guitar Mass". At the time I knew no better and thought it was cool.

Tried to go to confession, but confession was cancelled due to a pastoral emergency. Somebody in hospice.  :pray3: St. Joseph, this one's got your name on it.  :pray3: :pray3: Also picked up a bag FULL of cans, for the building fund.  :grin:

So, what are your plans for this fine day?

Take a shower.  Rest.  Watch my DH grunt and swear as he puts together new headboard for DD's new bed. Rest.  Help him move it to her room.  Rest. Watch him grunt and swear as he tries to get hardware to fit bed frame. Rest. Iron new valances for the kitchen.  Rest.  If I'm lucky, and he hasn't fallen asleep, I'll watch DH grunt and swear as he tries to put up curtain rod and put up valance.  Rest.  And if I haven't fallen asleep, go to parish St. Joseph table tonight and hear Father Magiera sing opera for us!

When in gradeschool, we had guitar Masses, thanks to sister Arlene. Blahhhh. There was a song we sang a lot called "This is the Day that the Lord has Made". We had to endure so many guitar Masses. They even had a name for it...."Guitar Mass". At the time I knew no better and thought it was cool.

Yes, I was in the same boat when I was young.  I thought it was cool, too!  Live and learn.

I never went to a "guitar Mass" that I remember. but in our history class we had Sr Mary St Jude who wore her cut off shorts and tube tops year round to make a point.  She began the year with playing her guitar while singing our lessons about  this nonsense, and asked us if we knew why she had burned her bra.  So why did she burn her bra, wear cut off short shorts and tube tops?  Every one of us had to give an answer.  Every one of us.  This included stupid little me.  The year was 1976.  The Bicentennial.  We only had one nun that was honoring the bicentennial.  She happened to be the only nun in a habit.  She said they told her she had to get with the times.  Nuns didn't wear habits anymore, they had to dress like the people she was trying to teach.  She said how will they know I'm a teacher if I'm dressed like them?  I command respect the minute I walk into a room in my habit.  It tells everyone everything they need to know about me.  So when the shorts and tube tops wearing nun asked what I thought, I told her that it told me everything I needed to know about her.  She was teaching us that she couldn't command respect without showing too much of her body, strumming a guitar, and singing bad songs loudly and badly.  I hoped she was putting this bad show on to teach us that Nuns belonged in habits to teach us good things about our Church and our Country.  In particular at this time when we have the bicentennial going on.  Those are the things to respect, not the silliness of what Sr Mary St Jude was doing.  Right?

Wrong.  I guess my Mom got an earful that night, and so did I.  This is when I learned that it's one thing to have the truth, but another to speak it out of line.  Some ears are deaf when it comes to the truth.  And when it comes to Adults, i was to show respect for the office and leave everything else alone.  If she asks for your opinion, knowing who she is, smile and politely say, "that's a lovely shade of green you are wearing." or whatever your can come up with without lying, and say it with a smile.  That's as close as I ever came to a "Guitar Mass".  And judging what a little snot I was, they were probably glad I never went to one.  lol   

My plans for the day are to write stupid annoying stories for you all or play them out in my head banging head.  Some of them come out pretty good and some, not so much.  I'm sorry, I shouldn't write stupid annoying stories for you all.  You haven't done anything to deserve them.  You are good people!  I must sleep now...  Love you guys!

This morning my husband was checking Novus Ordo readings and commented that St. Joseph's day is transferred to Monday because it falls on Sunday this year.  That made us wonder if it was the same in the traditional calendar.

Husband: Let's look it up.

Me: I haven't gone on the computer yet.

Husband:  Don't you have a trad wall calendar?  Look, that one over there that's still on January.  Isn't it trad?

Me:  Living in the past.  Yeah, that's got to be a trad calendar.

For the record, when I flipped the pages to March, I saw that it too has St. Joseph's Day transferred.

Today's (NO) Gospel was the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. I LOVE this story! "Lord, give me this water." We had a guest priest from a neighboring parish, too, originally from India. ALL of the Indian priests I've met (four, so far, over 12 years) have been strong in the Faith, pious, and noticeably committed to delivering solid, concise, strong homilies. Must be something about living in a country where a fraction of a percent of the population is Catholic: must make 'em pull together or something great like that. It's amazing.

And I'm eating a huge scone for breakfast.  :P

Put it this way: if the rest of us were you, we'd be complaining at LEAST as much as you do, if not more (and I'm betting on more, judging from myself at least). That's not some kind of false humility, either: that's a stone-cold look at the reality of our baser nature.

I thanked this because I appreciate the sentiment, my dear adopted one. But you are not master complainer. Really, you can be factual about what's happening, without it being a complaint. Please, go right ahead and tell us how you feel and what's wrong, so we know how and what to pray for, Ches. You're a good man and a blessing to know. Plus I love you're sense of humor which thank God! is still intact.But guy humor always hits my funny bone. Probably because I live with my very own in house comedian

yeah it is hard figuring out the "line" between complaining and just describing or discussing my life.  as things drag on, the amount of stuff in my life that *isn't* affected  by my illness gets smaller and smaller.  sometimes it seems like there is not much else to report

there are lots of fine lines in catholicism it seems..and i have such difficulty figuring them out

There are times in life where we need to abandon "figuring things out".  God's got it all figured out.  Your responsibility is to complain as much as you like, but try to acknowledge the state you are going to be in anyway as God's will. What else can you do?

I've had problems in the past where I almost drive myself crazy trying to "figure things out". It is hard to stop.  It is good to just admit that you SHOULD, and pray.

Look above.  Those little yellow characters are called minions.  They originated in the movie "Despicable Me" which I thought was kind of a cute movie.  A meme is a photo with text written on it, usually cute or funny text, often sexually explicit.  Thus, my good morning post above is a minion meme.

Going up to 52 today and sunny. If this doesn't cheer me up something is wrong with me. Though, if you can believe this it will drop down to 18 tonight! Quite a drop!

It was (apparently) 80 here yesterday. 80. If it wasn't 80 on the dot, it was at least high 70s.  :huh:

It was 50 something yesterday.  22 today.  Welcome to the Midwest.

Was in the 50's yesterday and I took a short walk.  53 now I may do the same today.  Love it when it is nice out and anything over 50 and below 90 is nice as far as I'm concerned.

In the midwest for those who are wondering.

Hey, with temps like that Hubby will break out the Struggle Buggy and give you a ride!  It was 88  :eek: , yes, that was 88 here on Sunday.  The Buggy was officially unwinterized (I realize that is not a word, but it describes it perfectly) and well ridden.  Just say the word and we'll pick you all up, from North to South.  Start with Ches, on to Carleen, to the midwest for orate, headed south to pick up Bernadette, and swing back north to check on ChrisTulsa.  Sound like a plan?  Everybody aboard?

I'm on board as long as the Struggle Buggy is actually enclosed...like..a car or a van or something. I don't do open, motorized transport.

Oh this is so kind of you Dymph, just so kind. Wouldn't that be fun! Chris may even go for the ride. Ches...well we may have to take wife, which means the little ones. That would be great. His 6 year old can talk my back leg off, filling me with the wisdom of a 6 year old. They can really be deep and profound at that wonderful age. But of course I will have to hold baby so Mrs c can take care of business getting Ches secured. Dymphna, do you think, maybe, just maybe this is a job for the bus? I surely like the idea of your buggy, but....there are just so many seats, now that Ches's family  may be on board. Actually, we can add a few seats because this is virtual. There now. We'll just take the buggy. Yes. That will work.

Morning? Been up since 5am.  Took an ahour and a half to get me dressed and in my chair but we did it.  Waiting for bus and supposed to go to "adult medical day care" today.  I don't know why they have to call it that

Not a very well thought out name

Hoping it doesn't take all my energy

Look at you, Ches, opening the Good Morning thread!  Good morning to you too!  So, adult medical day care?  That does sound rather, childish is the word that comes to mind, but I don't know that it fits right.  Insulting sounds better.  Not that insulting is in and of itself a  better thing to do, it's just a word that describes it.  Wow!  I'm really off in the weeds here, so I'm just going to get out here.  Good Morning!  :cheeseheadbeer:

Yeah well, I was really hoping that the pain med they gave me for the other stuff, Oxycodone, would kick the migraine out the door.  I've heard alot of controversy about this med, so I hoped it would be strong enough to get rid of the migraine too.  It eased it enough that I got to sleep a few hours at a time as well as for the most part getting rid of the pain from the other stuff.  And then it would wear off, with the body happy to remind me why I was taking it.  Why's the bod gotta be like dat?   :'(  It's just rude to do that to a person.  And mean.  Yeah, that's it!  It's rude and mean.  So, that's how I am this morning, I'm rude and mean.   :crazy:

The controversy or difficulties come with abusing timed release oxycontin. That is a 12 hrs pill that people chew to get all the med at once for a mophine high. That is what I am on, plus oxycodone as a breakthrough drug. When oxycontin wanes I take oxycodone. I've never broken or chewed oxycontin and don't know what that would be like. It's dangerous and will suppress breathing. Which is why people end up in ER. So, your oxycodone can be chewed for quicker effect, without any damage to your breathing. You get only the amount you would have gotten if you swallowed and let digest slowly.

they have a bed for me to take a nap  during the day so that is good but not in bed all day like at home most days...so that's good.

OK Ches, so far it seems to be a good place for you, both expensewise, and care. So yes, do start a movement to change the word "daycare".  You could send some peeps out to fix the sign. Have business cards made up with an appropriate respectful nsme. This could be real act of charity for all those that attend "daycare"! Glad they understand ptsd. A lot of people think they do but they dont. Ptsd, caused by Vietnam is different from that caused by an attack in your own backyard. There are principals that apply to most, but also differences which would change your approach to therapy. I wish I would have had some help with what I had to deal with at home. But, for the most part, I am beyond that. Still, the coping mechanisms we develop to protect ourselves are hard to shake. Your whole life may revolve around the next "event". A hard way to live. Don't want to depress you with my life, you have this to deal with in your own, between you and mrs. C. Glad you are in with people that "get" what it's like to be you, Ches. Really makes a difference. Day after day without this useful companionship would be very wearisome. At least you have your wife, and she is now on leave. Yahoo, despite the difficulties this may create. Yahoo. Love you even though we have never met, it feels like we have!,

I suppose it gets used primarily about children, but there is nothing intrinsically child-related in the term.

Oh for goodness sakes

I know what daycare is and it's condescending of you to act as if I need a dictionary

There's a whole thread here about treating men with respect.

How do you think your husband would appreciate his   wife dropping him off at day care?  Do you think he'd have an easy time with that?  What about your grown sons

Or even daughters or yourself for that matter

What is insulting about "day care"? It means care during the day.

Because I'm a 35 year old man?    It's infantilizing
Only if you let it be? Channel your inner Eleanor Roosevelt here, Ches.  8) Tell that nonsense where to get off, and enjoy something nice for yourself. I opened a new bar of soap today, and thought of you. :)

I'd be fine with it.  :popcorn: But then, I realize that I see things like this considerably  differently from most people, so take that for what it's worth.  :lol: My point is: just because a majority of people have a problem with something, doesn't mean the problem is inherent in the thing itself. ;) It doesn't mean that the problem is the people's fault, either: it just "is what it is." It's a common reaction, no more, no less.  :shrug:

One thing I'll say is... I want always physically disabled and back when I was [comparatively speaking]in a state of health?  The way I imagined living with a disability and my actual lived experience is very different

The things that I imagined would be the worst are actually not the worst.  Things that would jaceseemeeperipheral and inconsequential are a big deal to me. 

And it's not just me that finds it infabtilizing a lot of the other folks I've met in these programs feel the same way.  If anything that's a positive aspect of the program.. not being surrounded by normal people who don't get it and getting to hang out with people who have similar experience

ETA: terms like this affect how people view the disabled and I think they do damage not just to me individually

My advice: get one. I didn't have one, either; or I'd just lost her for a long time.  :shrug: Now that she's back, things are really looking up!  :beer: You're "in charge" (in a good way) of how you feel, Ches, to a very great degree: you get to decide how long you let negative feelings hang around before you start showing them the door; might take some time to get them actually moving toward the door, but that'll hopefully get easier with practice.

I apologize for offending you.  I meant no disrespect.

I would not have a problem with myself or an adult family member attending a day care if we needed it.  I don't see anything inherently demeaning about the term.  I was hoping that my comments would help you to feel better about it.

I would not have a problem with myself or an adult family member attending a day care if we needed it.  I don't see anything inherently demeaning about the term.  I was hoping that my comments would help you to feel better about it.

I shall give you the benefit of the doubt and believe that you did not mean to say anything offensive.  has been a bit difficult to adjust to and still adjusting, I have done adult medical day care in the past,this program is much much much better but I do get hung up on the term because words mean things.  they just do. 

there's what the dictionary says, and there's the colloquial meaning...  let's be honest, most people when they see "day care" think of it as a place for the 0-5 year old crowd. Most people think fingerpainting, circle time, and nursery rhymes--and these are all well and good....for children.

i've never cared for the Eleanor Roosevelt platitude: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." it always set my BS-ometer off.  I believe words mean things.  If someone calls me a jerk face and I say "Well no one can make me feel like a jerk face without consent, so I'm going to change the meaning of 'jerk face' from 'bad person' to 'upstanding member of society.'"  No, it doesn't work.  I could say "Oh, but the person who called me a jerk face is a jerk face himself, so I don't care about his opinion" and I might be right, but it's different when the people who use the term you find objectionable are the same people who are responsible for your care and you place yourself in their hands for two days a week.  Unfortunately, they do matter.  And the words we use set the tone for the attitudes we have. it's a big reason why I hate the term "Behavioral Health" which is often used as a politically correct substitute for "mental health."  Not only is behavior the tip of the iceberg when it comes to someone's mental health, but for many people with mental illness--their behavior is not the problem.  It's entirely possible to live a "functional" life but feel like crap.

And sometimes using the right words can affirm the humanity of the people you're serving.  I did my undergraduate internship with a place in DC called "L'Arche" which is a christian organization serving people with intellectual disabilities.  There was a house for men and for women--the disabled folks were the "Core Members" because they were the "core" of the organization whereas the assistants only had 1 year commitments to live in the community.  In Geel a town in Belgium and birthplace of St Dymphna and home to a village centered around care for the mentally ill, the mentally ill folks are not"patients" they are "boarders." 

"no one can make you feel inferior without your consent" also puts the burden on the offended person--maybe if they weren't so darn sensitive they wouldn't be offended.   I don't think that institutions that use these terms should be let off so easily. it takes the burden off the person who chose to make the statement, letting them off the hook for considering the implication of their word choice.

I care about my 6 year old son's impression on this most of all.  i try to imagine how it must be for him, today, going downstairs with me and my wife walking me to the van that says "Adult Medical Day Care" on it in big blue letters.  what matters to me is the impression this leaves him with, about his father.  Most boys watch their fathers get ready to go to work in the morning.  my son watches his mom get me ready for "day care" in the morning so she can go to work...and that is how my children are growing up.  What a way to start the day.  in a traditional catholic context, this is nothing but an abomination.

Good, because my insecurity was starting to tell me that I probably came off as super snarky there and ruined any chance that I could have had of doing you any good whatsoever.  :-[ My brain is working a lot of "overtime" these days, and this insecurity is apparently what happens as a result of it having too much on it's...self.  ::)

Oh, no!  I'm sorry you caught that bug.  It was meant for Congress in DC, but apparently someone shot too far to the left here and you ended up with it.  I've got a cousin up there that needs one, so maybe that's what Hubby was thinking of when he took the shot to send the bug.  That really sucks, mlg.  Are you on a strict coffee and crackers diet, all the while feeling like you would love a great big chocolate cake about now?  Or just reading these words makes you sick?  Either way, prayers for you to feel better soon!   :pray3: :pray2: :pray1:

I agree with you Ches.  My Dad was of similar opinion. We drove by a new building that had big silver letters on it that said, "Spring Valley Adult Medical Day Care Center".  I said I had never heard of that before and Dad said, "It makes sense that that is what the pansies would call it.  We all have to be the same.  Men have to be sensitive and basically be women too. Now we're all kids.  The Nursing Home is bad enough, now they want to do day care center?  Don't you ever put me in one of those!"  It was bad enough I had to leave him at the Nursing Home.  But sometimes there isn't anything you can do about things like that.  Take advantage of whatever services they offer and run with it!

This storm system is a very strange one in that it is swirling in a counter-clockwise fashion.  Interesting if nothing else.  Here's to an awesome, interesting day!  :cheeseheadbeer:

There's no Mass, since the priest has to say a Vigil Mass somewhere else on Saturdays; this is for confession/direction. My priest probably considers it his monthly penance!  :madsmiley: :lol:

You hate lightening too?  I agree, lightening has always freaked me out.  I like it if it is heat lightening, or the kind that is far, far away.  But that's it.

Love your variety in language!

Quote2) Why do we say that it's raining *insert colloquialism here* outside?  Has it ever rained inside?  Rained on the side?  A brain, my brain, needs to know these things.

I think it just adds a level of completeness to the thought. Rounds it off nicely, if you will. :) 
While I don't like it and find it irritating, it really does need to be said that way to complete the saying.

Hoping for an interesting, in a good way, day!

Oh, yes: I hate loud, sudden noises; and I always fear that the lightning is going to find and hit me.

I consider language to be the perfect "toy": endlessly amusing and fascinating. ;)

The thing about Gene Wilder's performance as Willy Wonka, is that he so thoroughly gives the impression of complete candor that if he asked me to tell him all about my daily minutiae I'd think he was serious, and just do it, no questions asked.  :lol:

I just love that performance. Think I need to go and watch the movie now. Maybe later, with a cup of cocoa and some chocolates. Only way to watch that movie, and something that I've never been able to pull off (sadly). So it's time.  :grin:

Johnny Depp is too heavy on the creep-factor for me. I think it's the pale skin, long hair, and voice. *shudder.* Gene Wilder doesn't give that impression at all: he seems to appeal to the innocence and wonder of children (qualities which all of the children except Charlie lack, and this lack is precisely what makes them so disagreeable, at least on a level) and thus fits more with my idea of Willy Wonka from the book. Though I think the book probably emphasizes Willy Wonka's "madness" a little more than the movie. Wonka reminds me of Dumbledore in that: "Mad? He's the most brilliant wizard who ever lived! But he is a bit mad, yes."   :D

Plus, I have a partiality for grey (and blue, but that's another story) eyes. And that smile of his is most charming, so those considerations gain Wilder (not Dumbledore) bonus points, in my book. :)

While Gene Wilder IS the mad Willy Wonka, Johnny Depp is just mad because he's dressed up and acts as a bad Willy Wonka.

Yes, Miss Carleen, you are much braver than I if you like lightening.  I liked it until the summer that Hubby and I met.  It was a stormy summer.  One night we were coming back from seeing a movie in the big city.  Just as we were on the outskirts of town, a bolt of lightening hit  just between my side of the car and the train tracks next to the road we were on.  I almost jumped out of my skin and was on Hubby's side of the car before I knew what happened.  We had seen lightening hit fields that were semi-close when we were out on a walk, but there was no comparison with it hitting right next to us.  I've been freaked out by it since.  So Miss Carleen, or should I say, Miss Lightening 2017!?   8)

One time lightening hit our roof, literally blew inset light fixtures in my ceiling, right out of the ceiling. It caused a small fire in attic and wrecked appliances. Another time it hit the tree right outside my kitchen window. A very old oak. It blew a lot of bark off the tree. Insurance helped. They paid to remove the tree even though I told them I have no plans to do that. They covered the other strike too. So I guess I am a fool hearted lady.

Well we sure are living in interesting times!  i think we can all agree on that

hopeyour monthly confession goes well bernadette although idont think most priests see hearing confessions as a penance--theywouldnt have become priests otherwise.  would be like me becoming a teacher but not wanting to grade papers.  it's what you sign up for

todaythey are having a party in my co-op because they just reopened this community area that was under construction for years (i am not sure why, i think paperwork, and disputes over what to do with it, or something like that.  sothey designed a "green space" on the roof with some kind of community garden thing and a gym and a kids play area.  well at least our fees will actually go towards something now.  might put some real clothes on and ride up the elevator if we're feeling adventurous.  my son really really wants to go.  would be interesting to see who actually lives behind all the doors we walk past and who is behind the windows on all the other floors.  but then....socializing.

Lol, no I meant the direction part. Often I get the impression that my poor priest just..doesn't know what to make of me. I'll never forget his reaction the first time I asked him about mortification:
":huh: Bernadette...[shakes head] Where do you get these things?"
"I was reading True Devotion to Mary?"
"[Monotone, as though reciting from a catechism] Mortification is the act of emptying and humbling ourselves, in order to allow God to raise us up."
":confused:"

I didn't understand this in the slightest, at the time, and was left with the impression that he was giving me a rather textbook answer, in order to just give me an answer and thus get me to go away. Like in To Kill a Mockingbird, when Scout asks Atticus what rape is, and he gives her the dictionary definition (which he knows she can't understand, and thus is perfectly comfortable giving it to her). :P Now, I look back on it and realize that he probably didn't understand what kind of information I was asking for.

Morning Ches, do go up if for no other reason than to show off your super duper, transforming, flame throwing, racing machine. No, I guess you'd just go for son. Good enough reason. Getting ready is the hard part. Being there, not so bad.

My mother is having both physical and cognitive issues.  I would appreciate prayers.

I've discovered recently that a good deal of progress can be made in "getting along with others" and finding peace of soul, if we try to find something (anything) in common with individuals we have an aversion to. It makes them seem more...like us.  :P It's expanding the pod, if you will.

Oh my, Bird. This is so basic and true. My oldest son, when seventeen worked with terrible messed up people. I asked him how he could stand it. He said mom, everyone has at least one good thing about them, or you may have one thing in common, so it's easy.

Dear dymphna, big foot had an awesome job with parks and recreation. Really on the down low. So he figured that it was time to settle down. He always liked abominal. But abominal  was male. One day Ness showed up in a lake (in upper mi) tells Biggie, that Abbey is abominal's new name. The rest is history. Oh, now biggie is only seen proudly wearing his ranger uniform....though they had no shoes to fit him. Abbey is looking for maternity clothes.

MLG, that outfit you've been sporting, elegant as it is, could use a change. It's been since the Christmas season, and it's not at all springy. Just sayin. Besides, you are so lovely, a change would do well for you. Besides it's seems you have an unending supply of those somewhat dated clothes. I'm not trying to be a bully. A meanie, but really MLG, why not? You may even feel better! And even more lovely. Really, can we ever be lovely enough?

She is lovely, isn't she?  Inside as well as out.  I love her taste in clothes, though.  She's always so well coiffed and elegant.  I'll bet it doesn't even take her any time at all to get ready in the morning.  Unless... she gets up super early to become so beautiful. That would explain the need for coffee IVs.  Are you losing sleep for beauty MLG?

Every Easter I had what most girls had but not new. It was passed down by older sister. Sometimes I would get new dress shoes, because shoes mattered in our poor home. Whether dress was new or used, new would be homemade, I would get my hair rolled the night before and mom took her time helping me to look special for Church!

Yes, Carleen, a good friend of ours' brother passed away.  It was eerily similar to what happened with Mom.  He was diagnosed with stage IV liver cancer and given a month to live.  That was 3 weeks ago.  Has cancer diagnosis always been like this and I just never noticed?  I don't know, but it's really getting creepy.

Sorry, folks, up late this morning.  Raining here too.  Messing with my body and my head--I started typing my message in the sign in spot.  Dang fibro fog.  By the time I am fit to find a good morning image, it will be afternoon! And I will not mention the achiness...

Just a small bit to place at the foot of the cross when compared with Our Lord's great suffering!
Title: Re: Good Morning!!
Post by: dymphna17 on March 30, 2017, 03:08:29 PM
Well, I was pleasantly surprised by the funeral proceedings this morning.  The Priest looked to be, maybe, in his late 20s, so cynical witch that I am, I immediately thought, "Oh, no, here we go!  This is going to be bad."  We went in and sat in the very last pew.  Soon a man went up to the lectern and read some readings, then there was the singing of Protestant hymns.  There were altar girls scrambling around getting everything ready for Mass.  Then the Priest said the typical NO Mass.  The thing that got me was his sermon, so to speak.  While not mentioning Purgatory by name, he kept exhorting everyone to pray for Mike's soul to be able to go to heaven to be with God.  He spoke of how it is the duty of the Church Militant to pray for the Church Suffering. 

He talked passionately about how the role of Mike's wife has changed.  Her duty toward him is now more than ever, spiritual.  He needs her prayers and sacrifices.  41 years is a long time to be with someone you love and having that change in the blink of an eye will be hard.  Her family and friend's roles have changed as well.  She will need everyone's support as well as Mike.  And the best way to do all of this, "Is through the holy, sacrifice of the Mass."  I just about fell over!  I really felt bad for wanting to jump up and down not only in church during Mass, but at a funeral no less.  I just wanted to scream Yes! Yes! Yes!  This!  This!  This!

It wasn't a bunch (just some) of happy clappy kum by ya mumbo jumbo.  I certainly hope this is a sign of things to come (back).  Only time will tell, I guess.  For now though, I didn't get angry or come home ticked off.  Thanks God!  +RIP+ Mike

Orate. I too have fibro. I know exactly how you feel. So we have to pull harder to get our sorry butts, yes those horrid rumps that do not want to get out and move around and actually do something, moving. Like posting a morning pic. Oh I know Orate. It is like no matter what we wish to do there is a force countering every effort and pushing us back in bed. We cannot fight it without an immense act of the will. Do you realize how much power we have? If we can counteract the force pushing us back into bed, WE CAN DO ANYTHING!!!!!! Kinda.

Woke up late. I'm a terrible good morning lady. Somehow the morning war cry, coming at 10 oclock, is like a lead baloon. Who cares by 10. It's almost time for lunch.

This was I, yesterday! LOL  I understand completely.

I started typing my message in the sign in spot. 

That's nothing. I just pasted a whole PM into the "find" field on my browser! I can't find the box now. Oh, there it is! Good thing I already sent the PM.

OK, I'm going to eat humble pie and admit that not only do I get up late, but I stay in my PJs until almost lunch time (and it is a late lunch).  There's nobody here to see me. Shhh.. this is a secret.

I would like to start a novena to St Teresa of Avila for Bernadette.  We don't know what is going on with her, but I do know that we can always use extra prayers.  If she is in need of them, here they are.  If not, you can't waste graces.  Hopefully our "Bird", as Carleen calls her, will be back with us again very soon.  In the mean time, we pray.  Please join me in saying this novena.  Following Orate's wonderful example, I will repost this every day.


St. Teresa of Avila
     
O Saint Teresa, seraphic Virgin, beloved spouse of thy crucified Lord, thou who on earth didst burn with a love so intense toward thy God and my God, and now dost glow with a brighter and purer flame in paradise: obtain for me also, I beseech thee, a spark of that same holy fire which shall cause me to forget the world, all things created, and even myself; for thou didst ever avidly desire to see Him loved by all men. Grant that my every thought and desire and affection may be continually directed to doing the will of God, the supreme Good, whether I am in joy or in pain, for He is worthy to be loved and obeyed forever. Obtain for me this grace, thou who art so powerful with God; may I be all on fire, like thee, with the holy love of God. Amen.

(S. Alphonsus M. de' Liguori) An indulgence of 300 days. A plenary indulgence on the usual conditions, if this prayer is said devoutly every day for a month.

Oh my Dymphna, I feel better already. As though whatever reason she's gone, at least I've done something for her. Maybe we can post bird pics until she comes back. Of course other pics are fine, just lots of birds. I am so happy to have a friend like you who knows how I feel. I could cry at her leaving but get such good virtual hugs from you, I wont. Too good to me.

It's such a glorious, beautiful day here. Chilly but warm to look at. Sun is full, skies clear, animals peaceful and lounging in the sun. A perfectly good day. Don't waste it!

Going to walk the property for 25 min or so, and say my rosary for you my wonderful Internet friends. God bless.

Orate, didn't see you yesterday, but you're here todsy, and with a pic!!! That is so cute. One year we had baby bunnies. We would bring them in the house and just watch them hop around and they were so fun. About 6 of them. We would sit in a circle and spread our legs to keep the in. They were no more than 3 inches long and adorable. Thanks and good morning Orate!

I don't know if you saw in the racing thread that I live in the Chicago area and have relatives outside Detroit.  And in June my son will be taking a job at Chrysler in Auburn.  Maybe one day, I'll be able to drop into one of your wonderful sounding parties and meet in person!

I say "Good Morning" with a crisp salute. Not really because I can't salute you all yet. But I would if I could.
Title: Re: Good Morning!!
Post by: orate on April 05, 2017, 09:00:47 AM
Good morning all.  I return a crisp salute to you, carleen.

Which reminds me of an incident in my youth.  When I was a senior in college, the head of the nursing department (my major) was a bird colonel in the Army Reserves.  In true military style she carried herself most sternly and nobody messed with her.   

At that time I'd taken to saluting as a form of greeting instead of waving.  So naturally when I passed the Head of the Department in the hall I greeted her with a salute.  I realized too late that what I had done could be construed as a sign of disrespect  as I was not a member of the military.  I had meant it only as a greeting to my superior.  I was mortified.

God bless her, she just nodded in acknowledgement of me and nothing was ever said.  Needless to say, I went back to traditional waving after that. :doh:

Come now soldier!  Salute or drop and give me 40!  I knew you could do it.  Just kidding.  Just fold your hands with a crisp Ave.  Much easier.  ;)  I'm feeling a little crispy and crunchy this morning myself.  I wonder how much is due to a cold, rainy, and windy day?  Oh, well.  Onward and upward we go!  :)

I say "Good Morning" with a crisp salute. Not really because I can't salute you all yet. But I would if I could.

Come now soldier!  Salute or drop and give me 40!  I knew you could do it.  Just kidding.  Just fold your hands with a crisp Ave.  Much easier.  ;)  I'm feeling a little crispy and crunchy this morning myself.  I wonder how much is due to a cold, rainy, and windy day?  Oh, well.  Onward and upward we go!  :)

Good morning, my friendly warrior. I tried to do 40. I did half. Of one. Cold here, been rainy, nothing to bolster the troops. But, it is another day, for me to get things done. Another day. For us. Praised be Jesus.

Good morning all.  I return a crisp salute to you, carleen.

Which reminds me of an incident in my youth.  When I was a senior in college, the head of the nursing department (my major) was a bird colonel in the Army Reserves.  In true military style she carried herself most sternly and nobody messed with her.   

At that time I'd taken to saluting as a form of greeting instead of waving.  So naturally when I passed the Head of the Department in the hall I greeted her with a salute.  I realized too late that what I had done could be construed as a sign of disrespect  as I was not a member of the military.  I had meant it only as a greeting to my superior.  I was mortified.

God bless her, she just nodded in acknowledgement of me and nothing was ever said.  Needless to say, I went back to traditional waving after that. :doh:

Oh, I'll bet you were mortified!  I can only imagine.  The sign of a true lady is to encounter adversity and walk away as if nothing happened.  The military helps with that!  I'll be nursing school didn't hurt either.   ;)

Yes, we REALLY need to learn to let things slide. At first response we are for the most part cordial, but if we go on and on it is like  :deadhorse: We lose our cordiality and become more frantic, and rude about getting our point across, or our need to be understood. All comes down to pride and a dose of the litany of humility is required by then.

Carleen, I was just relating an incident from my youth.  Not sure what you mean by letting it slide, and rudeness and pride.  And I see nothing of that on Dymphna's response either.  It sounded to me like she was complimenting the Head of the Department  for walking away from adversity.  I don't know what your response means in relation to the above quotes, unless you meant to post in another thread.  If not, please explain.

O4ate, I had in mind the Co sleeping thread, and just that like that woman you saluted, of the two involved predominantly in the thread, one should have just dropped it. Let it go. Had nothing to do with you or dymph, just in general on these threads that get hot, someone should walk away and allow it to cool down. If someone doesn't get your point, seems that's pretty obvious within a few exchanges. Your Woman officer was gracious and did not push you for saluting or beat you up for it. Maybe not a good example to use. I liked your story.

OK. I see now.  This is why I try to avoid posting in the hot topic threads--parenting, dress codes, feminism etc.  Everyone has an opinion.  But the problem comes when we think our opinion is dogma.  You are right, most often walking away is preferable to escalating.

An even harder question to answer would be, why do trolls look like us?  They are trolls, shouldn't they have their own species look?  Or did I miss the tale that told everyone they are half human?  These are things to ponder at 4:00 am.   ;) ;D

For the Bird - Day 6


St. Teresa of Avila
     
O Saint Teresa, seraphic Virgin, beloved spouse of thy crucified Lord, thou who on earth didst burn with a love so intense toward thy God and my God, and now dost glow with a brighter and purer flame in paradise: obtain for me also, I beseech thee, a spark of that same holy fire which shall cause me to forget the world, all things created, and even myself; for thou didst ever avidly desire to see Him loved by all men. Grant that my every thought and desire and affection may be continually directed to doing the will of God, the supreme Good, whether I am in joy or in pain, for He is worthy to be loved and obeyed forever. Obtain for me this grace, thou who art so powerful with God; may I be all on fire, like thee, with the holy love of God. Amen.

(S. Alphonsus M. de' Liguori) An indulgence of 300 days. A plenary indulgence on the usual conditions, if this prayer is said devoutly every day for a month.

Roofers arrived at 8:30 sharp.  I will be up all day. LOL

But the good news is that DD #2 from Texas and her hubby will be arriving this afternoon.  I'll have to forego the ride to the airport since the roofers will probably still be here.

So if you don't see a lot of me over the next 4 days--well all week cuz after that is the Triduum---know that I am having a wonderful visit.

For the Bird - Day 8


St. Teresa of Avila
     
O Saint Teresa, seraphic Virgin, beloved spouse of thy crucified Lord, thou who on earth didst burn with a love so intense toward thy God and my God, and now dost glow with a brighter and purer flame in paradise: obtain for me also, I beseech thee, a spark of that same holy fire which shall cause me to forget the world, all things created, and even myself; for thou didst ever avidly desire to see Him loved by all men. Grant that my every thought and desire and affection may be continually directed to doing the will of God, the supreme Good, whether I am in joy or in pain, for He is worthy to be loved and obeyed forever. Obtain for me this grace, thou who art so powerful with God; may I be all on fire, like thee, with the holy love of God. Amen.

(S. Alphonsus M. de' Liguori) An indulgence of 300 days. A plenary indulgence on the usual conditions, if this prayer is said devoutly every day for a month.

I don't know, but I think it may be that I am out of painkillers and the pain is barking at me always. Hey, a perfect week for this and it's in the right shoulder, too. It may be a blessing. Thanks dymph.

Tomorrow they are having an easter egg hunt across the street at the park

Unfortunately, after 5 1/2 years of marriage, God has not blessed DD #2 and her hubby with children.  So no munchkins I'm afraid.  Youngest grandchild is 8 and the rest are already teenagers.  Oldest grandson just got his driver's license.  Feeling really old now! LOL  So no munchkins for now.  Have to wait for another of my children to get married!

I'm sorry to hear that.  That just makes them even more special and easier to focus on a conversation with.   ;)  As for the rest, you shouldn't feel old at all!  You were just very, VERY young when you had your children.  You're as young as you can make your friends believe (or something like that).   :lol:

Hopefully in a couple weeks we will have goslings. When mom has completed her task she looks like she is gonna die. She doesn't get off to eat or drink. Her yellow legs turn white, she gets so skinny. But, it's all for the cause and she does recover. Hatching goslings is hard work!

We've been up and at it for awhile!  Good morning  :). Husband and I are packing up to take the kids to spend the day at the lake.  Last family day before he goes back to work and we go back to school.  It's going to be a lovely day....looking forward to it

Carleen! I'm up!  ;D You up? What's on the schedule for today? Anything wonderful? :) I get the house to myself since my aunt has an appointment in the next town over; so I'll be working on projects and probably doing some cleaning. Definitely laundry. Other projects include some embroidery, leather working, language study, word processing, etc. With breaks for snacks, of course. ;)

Yes, Bird, been up for a while, trying to figure out a way to convey my sadness over hurting a new friend with words that should not have been spoken, let alone thought. I will take it to the bank and be much more careful in the future. Careful and kind.  Good morning bird. I will get over the most justified correction I have received!

^ That was me, a few weeks ago. I was so interested in my various projects that I just didn't want to sleep.  ::) I'm reminded of St. Teresa herself, in this, since she often lamented that she had to eat and sleep and cater to the needs of the body, in order to allow the spirit to do what it wanted and what it loved. Thankfully, the Church teaches that our bodies are precious: temples of the Holy Spirit, and the walled garden in which Christ delights to dwell with us. :)

CARNAGE!!!!!! 3 of my poor duck were attacked and torn apart overnight. I should have seen a correlation to what my day will be like. Now I see it.  :( Maybe someone can share their joy this morning, mine seems to be waning.

I was trying, to relax that is, and maybe it's the migraine, but all I see in this picture is a zebra being murdered by 2 waterbuffalo squashing it together.  By the time you get to "Goodness" the cushions start to wiggle a little, so by the time you get to "gentleness and" you hear the last gasp...  So, no.  Sorry, no relaxation for me.  Better luck next time.  Can't you hear the noise, Waaaa Waaa Waa   :lol:

We had a memorial service for my mother yesterday evening.  I finally had a good cry for the first time since she died.  I feel so much better.

There is an overwhelming amount of legal and financial stuff to deal with: settling my mother's will, moving my dad in with me, selling his condo.  I have to talk with lawyers and bankers and accountants, oh my.  I really really dislike this sort of thing. But somehow this morning it just seems easier to face.

Jayne I am glad you had a good cry. To be helped out of this world and into the next by a loved one is surely the way I want to go. And now, the legal aspects of death. My brother will have that chore when my dad goes. I would not want me near any of that business. My brother, not a lawyer, but very capable, will do a fine job. And so will you, Jayne. I will pray it goes smoothly. God bless you for your charity and love towards family. Some of us have the lovey thing down, but not so much the duty. You do. A good example. Thank you.

SOOOOOO! After that carnage of 2 nights ago, with the sad death of 3 of my ducks, I decided to put the rest of the ducks into a stall in my barn. Cute as ducks may be, they are equally stupid. Trying to change what they do routinely, is hard. Bringing them out of their pen and walking them around to the back of my big barn, was like trying to herd 50 preschoolers in the same direction. But, I did manage, with some help, to get them safely locked up for the night. Went out there this morn to free them and, of course they went in many directions, none of which was the right way. I got a bit frustrated and told my dog to go get the ducks. He gently herded everyone into their pen. Good dog.

I really feel for you.  Two years ago, when my Mom died, I had my best cry when visiting her at the funeral home, with no one else there (they let me have a little time with her).

I was the first trustee, and the only one of the siblings without a job, so I dealt with the burial/funeral/lawyer/realtor/banking/trust too.  But it was easier for me, because my Dad had passed on 14 years earlier, and because I just continued to live at my Mom's house for months (while keeping my own condo).  Plus my brother and sister-in-law did most of the non-paperwork (physical) work with regard to selling the house, and moving on nearly 50 years of belongings full of memories.  In any case, I was pretty much a nervous wreck through the whole thing.  (I suspect you handle it better).

I had breakfast at McDonalds with my brother.  I ordered a small coffee.  The service person seemed surprised and asked me to repeat what size I wanted.  While they were filling the order, I told my brother,

"I don't think she believed me about wanting a small coffee.  I must look like I need more than that.  I feel like I look like I need more than that."

When we got our order, my brother commented that the coffee cup seemed too big, but I don't eat at McDonalds enough to know what it should look like.  After we were done he went to get a medium coffee to take back to his wife.  It was the same size as the one that I had just had. So he said,

"See, I told you your coffee was too big."

And I said,

"I told you that she didn't believe me about wanting a small coffee."

Unless you are like Dymph, who has to catch sleep whenever she can because who knows how long it may be before real sleep comes again. My poor friend and poor you if you too suffer insomnia. Christulsa has remedied his problem with melatonin, which I use myself. And when in a serious no sleep period,I'm not above using OTC sleep remedies. May God bless the rest of this day for you all.

We are in process of renovating a trashy looking picnic table. And no, I will not be taking any chances. I will be wearing a hemet...lol.  I have the job of polyurethane application. Hubby is finishing up sanding it. It may be old, but the wood used for it is beautiful and in very good shspe. It is still a sound table. Not at all wobbly. So restoring it is worth the effort in my book.

Why do you have to go and be so kind?  Even to a picnic table you are kind.  That table would have been my sworn enemy had it been me.  It would have been part of a beautiful bonfire.  But not you!  Old, beautiful, and in good shape.  That would describe a few people I know so I can't imagine a picnic table being those things.  Good for you!

As for sleep, I take melatonin too.  10 mg, plus hops, valerian root, GABA, and magnesium.  Sadly, this doesn't scratch the surface of what I take to sleep.  Miss Carleen hit it right when she said, "catch sleep whenever she can because who knows how long it may be before real sleep comes again."  Today was an 8:00 am to 1:00 pm sleep session.  With no migraine!!  Thank you God.  I'm so glad melatonin works so well for you all.  When you find something that works, hang onto it!

Ches, I have been wobbly on my feet for almost a year now. The damage in the cerebellum region is very significant and I may never be steady on my feet. Serious brain damage is serious busuness. No matter how much therapy, it may never (good balance) return. Funny because I was a very coordinated, athletic woman. I can't find her anymore. She's gone and now I am a listing Lili. I have to find some chic, classy helmets. I could wear one to church and it could serve as my head covering!

So you had a run in with someone, so you wrecked a perfectly good something, so you had a stinging headache, so you ate too much, too little, maybe you like I scattered some feathers, sad as that maybe, we have today. USE IT!  To mend, repair, collect, recover, rejoice. It's a Shiney brand new day!

I've been up since 3:30.  :grin: In my defense, I thought it was 4:30, and by the time I found out otherwise, I was already up and making coffee.  ::)

Now I'm back from church and am baking frozen mini quiches and a mini pie. Then later a friend is hopefully going to come over and look at my sewing machine, and after that the rest of the day is mine.  ;D

Yeah, they say that's tea, but I'd be willing to bet that it's really ground up, freeze dried peas.  That has got to be the brightest green I've ever seen when I googled it.  I hope it tastes better than dried up old peas would!   :lol: :coffee:

It's used in ice cream and candy. Definitely tastes better than peas.  :lol: Though while we're on the subject, those dried wasabi peas are pretty good...

If it's coffee, it's right up my alley. My very favorite is a frozen coffee drink. Yes, a sweet drink. Though I never put sugar in coffee or tea. Usually, no cream either. But a frozen mocha is my all time fav. I don't know, it just satisfies my sweet tooth I guess. Good thing the coffee shop is not right around the corner. Lol. Right around me, all the way around me is farmer fields.

Yes, he did. Good memory,Ches. He received an anointing from priest in emergency room. Couldn't talk, walk or see well. By next day, he had all his faculties without any deficits. A miracle. I choose to believe so. Thanks for asking.

Never thought he'd get merried. He's 37 and doesn't date. They were good friends through chour. Now it's seems to be going somewhere. I'll just pray and hope. It feels right.

Good morning Peeps (no offence Lynne  ;) )!  How is everybody?  Welcome to SD Talk, where we dish about the weather, kids, various projects we are working on, coffee.  You know, just about anything.  MLG has given us a wonderful topic; snow in Fargo.  When you are ready for Spring, it must be disheartening to look out your window and see the white stuff.  It feels and looks like it could snow here (I want back under the blankets!), but will only rain.  April showers and all of that.  So, how does it look in your neck of the woods?  There you have it.  A great topic for SD Talk over your coffee.   :coffee: :popcorn:  :laugh:

Wow!  You are just moving along, aren't you?  You say the top and seats are of another wood.  I don't know why, but I was picturing the picnic table to be one of those giant spindles that the phone company used to leave behind after running the wires on the telephone poles.  What kind of seats are you talking about?  Benches to sit on or individual seats?

Oh no, dymph, just the standard plank seat picnic tables ordinarily have. We replaced the planks for top and seats. So different wood. But, the good news is that the poly shows the color to be very close to the legs and supports. The two match so closely it almost looks like the same wood. Now I just need to put on two more coats top and seat and one more for legs and supports. Then what will I talk about? Oh, you know me, I'll think of something.

Good morning Peeps (no offence Lynne  ;) )!  How is everybody?  Welcome to SD Talk, where we dish about the weather, kids, various projects we are working on, coffee.  You know, just about anything.  MLG has given us a wonderful topic; snow in Fargo.  When you are ready for Spring, it must be disheartening to look out your window and see the white stuff.  It feels and looks like it could snow here (I want back under the blankets!), but will only rain.  April showers and all of that.  So, how does it look in your neck of the woods?  There you have it.  A great topic for SD Talk over your coffee.   :coffee: :popcorn:  :laugh:

I am triggered...  ::)

Good Day to you all!  A very tired but thankful child of God here.  I had an absolutely lovely visit with my sister in Dallas.  But now I am back to the cold overcast midwest.  Lots of work to catch up on!  I'll check in from time to time as I can over the next few days.  God bless.

Good morning! I'm going to be all by myself today, my husband is driving down to NJ to visit a sick friend. So, after I clean out the fridge (an over-due task), I will spend the day doing quilt-related stuff (oh boy!).

Feeling truly rested is such a good feeling, isn't it?!  I never realize just how tired I am, until I get a good sleep in.  It's a rare treat, but I enjoy it like nothing else.

Good morning all.  Still somewhat discombobulated after my trip.  I'm trying to pace myself in getting caught up.  I didn't realize how tiring the  trip was going to be for  me.  So, I keep plodding along.  Plodding being the operative word.

My uncle called me "shortstack" for years. :) He also had this saying: "Cuter than a popcorn toot," which I'm sure came from his parents. Reading A Tree Grows in Brooklyn makes me think that that last one refers to a bag of popcorn, where the bag is made from a twist of paper, but I might be completely mistaken.  :P

Anyway: Good morning!

Ok. Got a new project. Hubby brought home a new antique end table. A lovely piece of either walnut or mahogany. Will know once I get to sanding the nasty finish off. Comes off easy so no need for zip-strip.  Yahoo. Something to keep me busy, and contribute to my home.

I don't know. It's just been hectic lately.  Maybe it's the time of year....spring is making everyone extra springy.  They just have too much energy and everyone is driving each other crazy.  We have some park time and get togethers with family and friends lined up for the end of the week....I'm hoping that will help.  My house is in disarray, too, because I'm rearranging the kitchen and living rooms....the disorganization isn't helping me.  Plus, husband is stressed and crazy busy with work.  None of it is really that awful; I'm just burnt out, I guess.   :rant:

Oh yes Dymph, in more ways than one. Along come the years and the depth of knowledge about the other increases. Companionship does that. When he retired, that was a new beginning, and not all good, but ok. Then came my stroke. That changed our game. We saw how fragile life is and without a word began a much more sincere and appreciative relationship.

About the refinishing and the sweet end table. We see things through the same eyes, almost. We have very similar tastes and both see potential. He looked at that table and right away saw what I could do with it, just as I would.

The closer we get  the more we enjoy each others companionship. I could not have seen 40 years down the road, when we married so long ago. It turned out to be a gift to be unwrapped much later. A secret gift only God saw. I guess marriage really can be like a secret garden. Surprises around every turn. Something blooms something dies. In our case, this is like a new springtime. Don't really know how to explain it. We are as silly as ever, and yet the seriousness of eternity is never far from our thoughts.

And we pray together always for the end days, the family and now we add another rosary each day for the conversion of family members, our siblings. Husband was inspired to start that last week. His super protestant life coach sister, on Monday, sent us a sequence of pictures taken the past weekend at San Juan Capistrano, in California. A most beautiful traditional chapel there, with the old Mass. Was this a sign of even better things to come? We are hopeful.

Carleen, you all give me such hope for the future.  You're an awesome reminder that God is in control and can make bad things turn into good (with our cooperation of course), and to just keep plugging along taking each day as it comes.  Thank you for that.  It's that kind of example that can change hearts and minds and redirect them toward God and the Faith.  And you never know who is watching.  Prayers for your SIL.

Munda, when my house is in disarray, it seems my whole life is.  It's just a general feeling of disquiet that gnaws at me.  I can't imagine having that going on plus homeschooling munchkins.  I think you are right on target regarding springy Spring.  I am itching to get on that bike and hit the road!  Let's go already!!  :lol:  Prayers for patience for you, Lady.   :beer:  :pray3:

End table 90% bare of old finish. Tomorrow I'll get it done and some polyurethane on it, before kids come over to clean. Gramps taking daughter's 10 yr old son to get wood for next winter. They will have fun I'm sure. Feeling a bit crummy, so laying down for a little bit before rosary. Feel crummy this time of day which means sending hubby off to adoration alone. Feel bad about that, but Jesus is not alone and all I can manage is to fall asleep there, so may as well stay home and nap. Husband uses time after adoration to pick up groceries or things needed for projects. Just not up to it.

See you in go to bed. Be thinking about a pic to post if you don't mind. It's nice, but certainly not necessary. :)

Went for a walk at 8AM this morning - a very unusual thing for me.  It wasn't as pleasant as my evening walks have been - I was hot and sweaty and had to change when I got back.  I need to bring sunglasses (I forgot), suntan lotion, and water next time.

Happy mid-morning coffee break! (At least for a few of you)

Cinco de Mayo is probably celebrated more in this area of the country than elsewhere, naturally (So Cal).  Besides the music (and this post) I probably won't do much to celebrate.  Last year at least I went to a Mexican restaurant for quesadillas, but now I'm on this diet...


Did you say diet.....boy do I have a diet for you.  Guaranteed 10 pounds in 2 weeks! I hate immondium, but I'm throwing in the towel. Don't know what else to do so down it goes. Happy Cinco De Mayo. Non.

I don't think your diet will catch on. Hope the immondium or PB help!

Immodium-D mutisymptom ;)

Mary, I hope you can have some coffee today!  If not, I made some chamomile tea with lemon and honey.

God sees you rolling around making a bad bedhead worse. He gave you the whole night to sleep. The morning is a gentle start for our day. Use it to start. Sleeping all morning, unless you are Ches or Dymphna, is just disordered. Your already dishelved, do you also want to be disordered?

Ches, yes, another fall. When I had my stroke, I lost the instinctual reflex everyone has to catch yourself...to correct an imbalance. People are not aware of this reflex. It's an immediate response to the threat of a fall. Your body"catches" itself by immediate correction. My body has no response. My mind knows what is happening but there is no attempt to correct.

Not very pretty. No amount of PT will ever restore this reflex. It was housed in the part of my brain that died...when I didn't  :)

PT is going very well. My shoulder joint is getting looser and the muscles stronger I am happy to report! Still can't style my hair, but that's good for ridding myself of some of my vanity. I'm a vain lady, always have been. Especially now because I don't want to look like I've been dragged through a knothole. I always say I don't have to look like the handicapped women I am. For the most part I have been successful. If one did not know me or my health history, they probably would not pick up on my deficits. Partly because I use no aides...like a cane. Or helmet  :rofl:

Was I a bit harsh above? Come to mama, children. Let me make you a nice breakfast and a cuppa coffee. Is that better? NOW, GET OUTTA BED!

So, I fell yesterday and hurt the shoulder they did all that work on. Very painful today. Please say an Ave I can get through therapy! Thank you.
you fell again?!  theyare going to have to give you some shoulder pads and I'm not talking about the 80s pantsuit kind

how often do you have PT?ihaveit 2days aweeek at the outpatient day progra i go to

Ches, yes, another fall. When I had my stroke, I lost the instinctual reflex everyone has to catch yourself...to correct an imbalance. People are not aware of this reflex. It's an immediate response to the threat of a fall. Your body"catches" itself by immediate correction. My body has no response. My mind knows what is happening but there is no attempt to correct.

I would get a helmet.  I'd go to the Pittsburg Steeler's or the Oklahoma Sooners and get one from one of them.  Then it wouldn't be such a bad deal.  You could walk around in a hail storm like the one we are having.  Leave it on for those times when you get picked up by a tornado and there won't be any brain damage.   :lol:   8)

wellglad to ear pt isgoing well

Hmm..the reflex thing is unfortunate... did you ever talk to an OT about that?  sometimes they do other exercises and activities to help with spatial awareness, coordination and such.  PT helps with the muscle strength, but with OT there are tangible goals and it's geared towards functional things you need/want to accomplish so they might help with stuff like brushing hair, cooking, cognitive stuff, energy conservation.  it maybe that the reflex is gonebut they may als help with compensating for that defecit

It's my birthday today and a much happier one than I was expecting it to be.  I went to Confession and Mass this morning and they were amazing.  I cried for pretty much the entire Mass so it's a good thing my husband wasn't with me; he would have found that distressing.  But they were healing tears, my first good cry since my father died. I needed this release very much.  I cried because there was a little girl being held by her daddy in the pew ahead of me.  And I cried because the music was beautiful.  And I cried because there was a baby girl being held by her daddy in the pew behind me.  And I cried because Christ was really present in the Eucharist.  And I cried because I am so grateful to be Catholic.

I feel like I spent my morning having God pour graces on me.  It is a time of sorrow but God is taking such good care of me that it is a time of rejoicing too.

sounds like a really intense day for you,a lot of mixed emotions.  Have to admit sometimes I'm a little jealous of you ladies and being able to "turn on the waterworks" I have heard that for some crying is cathartic and a big release of emotions. 

are you expected to sit shivah and all that in your home or is oneofyour siblings doing it?  how is that going

will continue prayers for you and for your father.

My father was not a practicing Jew and did not want us to have a Jewish burial or shivah.  We are informally trying to take things easy and spend a lot of time together though.  I have, however, been calling it "mix and match death customs" rather than sitting shivah.

I had most of my children and grandchildren come over yesterday.  I've known for some time that one son and daughter-in-law were expecting a baby girl in the fall.  They told me yesterday that they were changing the name that they had originally planned for the baby to use my mother's name.  I was pleased and touched. 

I really appreciate the prayers.  The last few months have been rough and knowing that there are people praying helps a lot.  I continue to need prayers.  I am the executor of my father's will and I have a sister who is complaining about it and may end up contesting it.  Just dealing with legal/financial stuff when things are running smoothly is hard for me.  I so do not want to deal with problems like this.

Jayne I understand your mixed emotions. So glad you had a good cry. Thats how we are wired, women I mean. We cry when both happy and sad and it is a great release and just what we need in this crazy mixed up situation. You have sweet and sour going on...requiring smiles and tears, sometimes at the same time. Sorry sis is being hurtful and difficult. You are executor which means dad's trust was placed in you. Apparently you proved your honesty and good intentions to mom and dad, so clearly they trusted you with their worldly goods, believing you would do your best to carry out their wishes and intent. It is a burden, sure, but speaks volumes as to how they felt about you. If I were in your situation, I would want to pass off the responsibility. I won't have to because my dad chose my brother who is much more capable and knowledgeable about finances and law.

As of now, I would guess there will be harmony among the 8 siblings, but, unless all are practicing Catholics, anything could happen. As of now not one sibling stands apart as a trouble maker. Please God, may it stay this way. When mom died, she had nothing to argue about. Junk jewelry, personal effect of little value, except to her. Now, when dad dies, if we wanted to argue, there will be plenty to argue over.

Why, hello Mata! 97? You must be very south. I think it's low 60s here, with winds making it feel cooler. Welcome to the good morning thread! Sometimes we are quite boring here and sometimes quite funny. Depends on when you peek in. Just did my path around the farm, my Littles (baby lambs) are so tiny, the grass is taller than they are. You have to wait till they bounce around to see them. O so cute!

What say I on this, well, um, Wednesday Carleen?  I say keep tiptoeing on eggshells so the M monster doesn't know where to find me.  Shhh, be very, very quiet.  And that is only if I have to move.  I try not to move.  Thank you God, for making me like a sloth.   :pray3:

I actually got up early yesterday - a very rare thing - and went for a walk (which I usually do in the evening). I even did it for 3-4 days in a row a couple weeks ago... sigh.  Usually (and today) I just fall exhausted into my bed and sleep for .... after feeding my cat early.

But tomorrow is Ascension Thursday and I will have to get up early, exhausted or not (although I will walk in the evening, but that is OK).  (My Mass on Sundays is at 4PM, which I do like...).

Our Mass is not until 7 tonight. It will be wonderful as always. Fr. Nelson gives a good solid homily, so maybe I'll learn something as well. The choir is awesome and lifts my heart in a way nothing in my day to day activities do. God bless your holy day. God bless all of you. And may He answer the prayers we all bring to Him at every Mass. May He find us and our offering of worship pleasing to Him! Once again, may we join Him in His glorious ascension into Heaven, united with the angels and His Father in Heaven. Deo gratias!

Good morning to you all as well!  Nature ran us back to civilization this morning.  We were out camping on a beautiful lake.  Hubby and his protege had gone out and split a bunch of wood, set tents up Thursday evening and had just about everything ready so when we got up there all we would have to do is take care of beds, a fire, supper, and fun.  Our bil, niece, her Husband and their girls were there as well.  Niece's Husband has a DJ business and he brought some of his equipment which was fun.  When my Hubby and bil started coming up with song requests and telling stories from "the good old days" I didn't think we were going to be able to stop laughing.

But alas, we knew there was a good chance of storms for last night and today (I'm trying very hard not to say "I told you so", but, well, you get the idea  ;) ).  The only thing we were really worried about was the possibility of 70-80 mph winds.  So, about 6:00 am Hubby wakes me up and says we're going to go get into the car until the storm raging outside passes because it was raining in the tent and everything was soaking wet.  The protege and niece's tents were the same way.  Fortunately I'm a plastic bag fanatic, so there won't be a whole lot of damage done.  Straight line winds and driving rain are no match for zip lock baggies!   :lol:  The winds weren't 70-80 mph, but they were enough to whip the walls of the tent so the water on them soaked through and got everything wet.  We came home and now the guys are back up there trying to dance between the raindrops to get the rest of our things.

The moral of the story is A) listen to your Wife about the weather  :whistling:  , B) zip lock baggies are a very good camping investment, and C) realize that, like freedom, fun isn't free from complications nor consequences and God should be thanked daily for it and our soldier's sacrifices should be frequently acknowledged and appreciated.

I hope you all are having a wonderful long weekend.  :)

And , as to our service men, thanks for risking life and limb and sanity. The greatest gift you have given us is not freedom, but the example of courage and service. Courage and service, that is required to walk our Catholic life here on earth, so we can rest forever in our creators presence. God bless you all, without your service we would be left with few heros and fewer examples of raw courage. Service men fight not so much for the cause, as to keep each other alive. Over and over we hear about troops going to great lengths to see that their brothers in arms come home safely.

Good morning!  We're headed out with our friends to go visit some of their family for a couple of days.  We would all rather this be a bike trip, but it's too soon after one of the guys surgery so a truck caravan it is!  Have a great rest of the weekend!!

Good morning! I'm all by myself this morning, except for the cats and the bunny.  ::)

My husband drove down to Jersey again, another hospital visit to see his sick friend.

I thought I'd enjoy all the time alone but (he left yesterday) but not so much. Oh well, the Yankee game will be on at 1 pm and I'm sitting here, practicing my quilting so the day's not a total loss.

A GOSLING HAS DIED! So disappointed. Poor thing. Something killed it. Mortality rate on the farm is high these days. I think it was a flat out muder. A murder just for the fun of it. A lot of that going around. It has infected the animals, too.

Dear sweet MLG! Are you well and getting enough coffee. Forgot to tell you before I left for up North, that  I was going up North, so you will have to keep up the chatter in Good morning thread. Please make sure everyone is out of bed at a reasonable time. Let Ches sleep in.

Non nobis, maybe you could spruce the place up. Maybe clean the coffee maker for me and make sure there is fresh coffee available for MLG. MLG will be at work, but I'm sure she will drop in when she smells it!

Thanks my peeps. Will be checking in from time to time. GOODMAN MORNING, for tomorrow  ;)

She's in charge of making sure all the fence is up and the sheep are in place.  She keeps it beautifully rustic.  Otherwise it's a mess and the ram gets to ruin things.  It's a big job but she handles it with grace and dignity.  :)

Chris, husband cut a walking path just outside of the sheep fencing. That's my walking path. It's a bit rough but I love it. Each lap around the property is 1/3 mile. I do 6 laps.

Actually Dymphna is right. I do have to check the fencing so during my laps I look for places that may need to be attended to.

I just got up half an hour ago. My iPod has been dying on me in the middle of the night, so no alarm clock. :( Now I'm having coffee and will make the bed afterward. Then, more laundry and doctor's appointment.

Bird, at least you got up! At my age I don't take getting up for granted. Especially this past year and all that entailed.
Good morning to you!  :grouphug:

Good morning, Jayne. Are you still tieing up loose ends for your father's estate? Or are you done with all that. Thank God my family has enough sense not to make me executor of anything. I haven't the skills or even temperment for duties like that. I hope your life is back into the swing of things and all you had to deal with is behind you.God bless your efforts. Still think hubby joining you at Latin mass is an earned blessing from God after working so hard on parents behalf.

It is going to go on for months, maybe more.  The will needs to be probated which takes a long time and there just seem to be a lot of things to do.  I do not have the temperament for this either.  I don't even like thinking about money.  My husband has handled that sort of thing ever since we got married.  But it needs to be done, so I suppose I will muddle through.

My husband is the executor for his parents' estate. When they went to sell the house, they found out that another relative was also on the title, a deceased relative. So they had to hunt for that relative's descendants (that's not the right word but I can't think of what it should be). Ugh.

Jayne, I know these matters are commonly quite complicated. It would be so much easier if mom or dad would have just given everything away before they died. But, it is what it is. Just know I think of you and the burden of seeing to these things. God bless you.

Wow, Lynne, now that's a strange twist. Poor hubby. I really do see the role of executor as a major burden. You want to see that all is taken care of in the fashion the deceased would have wanted and as he/she declared before their death, and yet everything, every step is so complicated.

Morning.  At my Moms for a few days, along with the baby, to help her after having hip surgery.  Relaxing and visiting now, but hoping to do some cleaning for her later while she naps.  Hope she won't be mad at me  ;D. It's frustrating for her that she can't keep up like she used to.  Part of life, but still a hard transition.

Yup, Munda. Very frustrating. We see ourselves whipping around like we used to, but in action were nothing like we were. Did she have replacement? Hip surgery is usually quicker to heal than knee surgery. Shell be up and around before you know it.  :pray3:

The Accountant in the sky is going to ask about all the time He gave you and what did you do with it. You'll want something to point to and say, "I did this for You O Lord."

This morning was our last Mass at St. A's downtown. The archbishop wants our growing FSSP community to move to the north side. They got the notice last week, and they're supposed to be at St. E starting tomorrow. Mass is at 3 PM, which is not optimum for most people involved in the community, and although they had asked time and again to be placed at the lovely, trad-style St. J (which only has one NO a week anyways), the archbishop has continuously refused. Please pray for the community. I'll be out of the city all summer, but I really hope that the transition goes well.  :pray3:

Heading back home today.  Enjoyed visiting with Mom, siblings, nieces, nephew.  Managed to clean a few things and thoroughly frustrate my Mom  ;D. Time to head home, my job is complete.  She and the baby had some good bonding time, just the two of them.  Oh, the stories they told each other  :).  Anyway, it is a good morning, but I am exhausted and ready to hug my other kiddos back home.  I'll meet them at Mass today, with their other grandparents.

Even though, and thanks be to God, even though I got a tremendous amount of work done today, I feel kinda crummy. Sure, it'll pass, but I think I may have overdone it. I could just fall asleep. Maybe I will. Hey....that's a great idea, do you think it's my guardian angel guiding me to my bed? I doubt it, I think it's me whispering in my own ear..."Go lay down, Carleen...Take a nap. Your shower can wait." No it cant.  Must stay awake and get that shower. Choir here tonight. The least I can do is look clean. When you are fresh and clean, no one asks if you are tired.

Yes I am. Really, I think I went a bit too far. Went to therapy and after two days of moving a pile as big as about 3-4 cords of wood,  it two days work pitch forking it into wheelbarrow, wheeling it to two different gardens. So I was too weak to properly do my exercises. Always good to hear from you Lydia!

Ok. I know. I went a bit over the top, trying to prove to myself I can. Now I know, I went too far and it's bit me in the butt. Plus I have a sunburn which I deserved. Tomorrow will be an easy day.

I'm sorry your shoulder is hurting, Carleen.   :( 

You're well ahead of me with your gardening -- already getting next year's soil prepped!  I'm behind even getting a lot of things into the ground for this year (due to some unforeseen circumstances as well as some procrastination on a few things), and I have nowhere near the amount of land you do.  I think I wrapped it up yesterday, though; and I'm counting on this year following the last few years' suit and staying warm a bit later than usual.  For my own selfish gardening reasons anyway.  LOL  ;)  So, we'll see!

Oh, and:

You're well ahead of me with your gardening -- already getting next year's soil prepped!  I'm behind even getting a lot of things into the ground for this year (due to some unforeseen circumstances as well as some procrastination on a few things), and I have nowhere near the amount of land you do.  I think I wrapped it up yesterday, though; and I'm counting on this year following the last few years' suit and staying warm a bit later than usual.  For my own selfish gardening reasons anyway.  LOL  ;)  So, we'll see!

Oh, and:

Oh my! I don't know how to thank you for my new kitty, Lydia, you are way too kind. I will take good care of her. HER! well she is pretty like a girl. If that's a boy I hope he's not gay!  Lydia have a great trip! Be safe and hope ALL goes exactly as you hope. God bless Lydia.

Ok. Big mama here to say big thank yous to all that have joined me wishing good mornings and good nights. I am big mama, because I love the idea of everyone having a mental picture of a big white Aunt Jemima. You will be sorely disappointed when you see the real me, so I shall remain hidden, behind Big Mama. Besides, coming to big mama is more inviting than what I am. This is all virtual. We can be what ever we want...right? Dymph, Bird, Lydia, Non, Lynne and everyone? It is much more fun this way. Me thinks.

This morning I was out doing an errand with my husband and we needed to do emergency shirt shopping.  We realized that both of us were wearing shirts from a load of laundry that had not been washed properly and were smelly. 

Buying new shirts was made more difficult because we were trying to do it in a grocery store.  (It seemed like a good idea at the time.  I think we must have panicked.)  We did, however, succeed.  The grocery store was selling "Canada 150" T-shirts because next weekend is Canada's sesquicentennial celebration. 

We took our new shirts and changed in the car.  After arriving at our destination, the next person we saw, probably admiring our patriotism, complimented our shirts.  We just looked at each other and burst out laughing. 

No matter how old we get, we are still just a couple of crazy kids.

I loved this post, Jayne. Thank you. Sounds like you both are a couple of teenagers, crazy about each other. How refreshing. Your story is the story of a happy marriage. Your story is my story. Hubby and I could take your place in your story and at the end, we would be laughing just like you. I think we wrestle with more serious issues though of course I can't really know that, but oh my, how we laugh. Thank God for the ability to find the humor in life. Because our issues are the type a non-Catholic may drown in.

First He has to deal with me.   I put off laundry until realizing on Sunday that I would not have something I absolutely needed today unless I did it. So then I started it, and forgot to take out at least what really needed to hang dry overnight. So now I am sitting here in my PJs waiting for my clothes to dry (forget hang dry, for one of them).

I did not get a chance to post this morning, but did have a few minutes to spend reading the forum.  It reminded me how much I dislike "roast" humour.  Somehow, hurtful comments are supposed to magically become funny if somebody calls it a roast.  For some reason, the magic never works on me. 

It reminds me of "The Emperor's New Clothes".  Just like nobody wanted to point out that the Emperor was naked, people don't want to point out that the "roast" comments weren't funny.  Because one then risks being accused of lacking a sense of humour.

I think that being kind is more important than being funny.  If that means there is something wrong with my sense of humour, I can live with that.

Good morning, everyone. 

I had a bit of a scare reading the forum this morning.  I read a whole bunch of posts by Greg and thought they were reasonable and well put. I was getting worried that there was something really wrong with me. Then I realized that I was automatically avoiding the threads in which I knew I would disagree with him.  What a relief!

I need a collection of these so I can just wear whichever is appropriate and nobody will need to ask me how I am.  As an introvert, I am always looking for ways to avoid interacting with people.

The other day, my husband took off his sweater and put it around my shoulders and crossed the arms over me, saying, "This is a hug for you to keep."

I said, "It's perfect.  This way I can be alone and still get a hug.  You should market these to introverts.  It is just what we need."

Well, I did get out of bed earlier.  I've had insomnia the past couple of nights, and the baby must be growing, because she's been night nursing ALOT.  I'm also just out of steam....been going and going and going and going, with very little reprieve lately.  In addition to that, before I even finished changing the baby's diaper first thing this morning, one of the other children accidentally dropped a large mason jar of water - he was helping little brother get some cereal, and it fell when he was getting milk out of the fridge - and it shattered all over the kitchen floor.  I assured him it was fine....it's just a jar, and let him know it was ok, made sure he hadn't cut himself on broken glass, then cleaned up the mess.  After that, I passed baby to the older kids, and told them I was going back to bed and would remain there for the rest of the day.  And, here I am still....in my pj's and all.  I'm doing absolutely nothing productive today, whatsoever.  Knitting is about all I can muster today.  Maybe a nap soon.  Trying to replenish my energy, so I actually have something useful to give to my family.  So....good morning...meh

I too have been waiting for bedtime since 8:00 this morning, when I was so rudely roused out of bed to only to be confronted by 2 young Jehovah Witnesses.  It's always fun to watch them run away after you tell them that you are a Catholic and bring out proof of Tradition (books by St Francis de Sales, St Augustine, Michael Davies +RIP+, etc, beautiful Catholic pictures, the home altar, etc) after they say how much they like this Pope, so it's no problem.  Trying to give them a green scapular and inviting them to use the holy water and to come in to say the rosary before I will listen to them, hastens their speed down the driveway.  Maybe one day they will take me up on my offer.  Who knows, maybe my fresh out of bed, no makeup face, and bed head hair made them run screaming.  Just kidding.  They weren't screaming.   :-X :pray3:

I'm still waiting for sleep though.  At least there is plenty of lightening and thunder to keep things interesting.

Yesterday was a bit of a rough day for me, so I'm glad it's done.  It would have been my parents' 60th wedding anniversary.  Even earlier this year it had seemed like they might survive for it and we had been hoping to celebrate it with them.  My parents had a double wedding with my aunt and uncle, so I was trying to be happy for them since it was their anniversary too.

I am glad to have all that behind me and am throwing myself into Canada 150 celebrations today.  Although, since I am an introvert, that amounts to wearing my Canada 150 T-shirt and starting a thread about it.

I'm looking at a very warm day, but I would be sweating bullets even if it were 30 degrees.  Going to the first Academy Alumni Reunion today.  It's been many, many, many years since I've seen alot of these folks.  Should be interesting if nothing else!   :hide:

Carleen, I meant to ask you if you had noticed that you had a newcomer (https://www.suscipedomine.com/forum/index.php?topic=15444.msg400167#msg400167) find his way (albeit very briefly) a while back onto the "Good Morning!!" thread.  (Well, a newcomer to the thread, obviously, not to the forum, anyway.  Jayne's "Canada 150" posts reminded me of this very important observation.  LOL)

Do you mean Mata, Lydia? I am a bit slow today, you may have to explain.

No, I know you've noticed Mata!  (And it's been nice to see him stop by, too.)  The person I'm speaking of has not actually posted in the thread (but has been here at least twice).  That's my hint!

Oh! I get it!!!!!! Pheo!!!!! Yes, we are a bit low on masculine charm, which he brought with him. Even Ches has not been visiting. Ocassionally, Mata, Martin, though Chris has been a regular. Yes, Pheo, that was nice. How dense I've been!

Lydia!  You are looking a little green around the gills!  You must be suffering terribly in that outfit.  Seriously though, I didn't know they made or could wear those in any other colors than black or blue.

You're right, Dymphna, it is getting kind of muggy in here.  It's definitely time for a wardrobe change now that the heat's coming back into the forecast, but nothing's struck my fancy yet... avatar slump.   :(   (The green's kind of pretty though, isn't it?  Or ... too vain?  :-[)

QuoteI'm looking at a very warm day, but I would be sweating bullets even if it were 30 degrees.  Going to the first Academy Alumni Reunion today.  It's been many, many, many years since I've seen alot of these folks.  Should be interesting if nothing else!   :hide:

Sometimes it's so strange and awkward to see people you haven't in many years, other times it feels like picking right back up where you left off.  Doesn't it?  (Probably pros and cons to either of those re-meetings, though, depending on the people.) 

I hope you have a really good and interesting time tonight (and that your nervousness is quickly quelled once there).  What is the Academy Alumni anyway, Dymph?

Good Morning! Well not so good, but hey it is morning and im still here. Head banging. Spent more hours trying to sleep than sleeping. But again I'm still here. Sun shining. Dog being lazy with me. My constant companion. He does not care about my bed head. He's so nice to be with. Hubby made the coffee this morning so hope it's not too strong. I'm picking up here. I should be up and around near noon. :)

Yes, Logan is a great friend. If I'm not doing well, he just lays by me. If I'm up and around he goes where I go. Yes, he does like a bit of melted butter on his food, but, that's the least we can do for such a fine friend. We put our foot down on making him omeletes.

Lydia, you are looking a bit aged, still very lovely. I have a contractor who could help you if you wish. A bit of Crack filler, bit of drywall tape, some sanding and paint. You interested? And maybe a chic haircut. I think we could really make a difference, if I'm not being rude, I hope. Just saying.......

Daughter is 8 months along and looks about 5. She has all the discomfort, but isn't even in maternity wear. She is 5'8 and long torso. How can this be? She has gained 30 pounds though.

Phew....8 months along in the dead of summer?  I feel for your daughter, Carleen!  And all ladies late I preganacy right now.  That's some serious purgatory time.  I wonder if it's indulgenced?  It should be!  ;D

Anyway, good morning, all.  After all the business we've had lately, I am looking forward to having absolutely nothing...zero....zilch on the schedule today.  We are filling up a medium sized kiddie pool, and hanging out on the patio all day today.  I may do some gardening, too.... but only if I feel like it  :cheeseheadbeer:

Good morning my peeps!  Yay Saturday!  Is Saturday chore day for anyone else?  It's my day to tie up any loose ends from the week.  Finally put away all the laundry, sweep the whole floor instead of just under the table, dust the bottom bookshelf instead of just the top that everyone can see.  You get the idea. 

We are going back up to our first bike rally of the season.  It's only about 15 minutes away on a 20 acre field surrounded by trees that hide another 15 acres.  There was a huge bonfire and a fantastic band.  Today will have more bands as well as the bike games.  So I had better get moving.

Make it a great day everybody!  AMDG!   :pray3:  :cheeseheadbeer: 8)

Good morning!  If you go to bed in the morning, should you have to get up in that same morning?  Just a thought.  Carleen wants pictures so here are some from the rally.  I didn't get any from the bike games or the best in show.  I accidentally left my phone at home.  So here are some of what I got:

Our friend's campsite:

I don't know that I have much advice for you, because I don't have much trouble (these days) getting out of bed.  But I'm also motivated by wanting some peace and quiet before the house wakes up and starts roaring.  LOL.  I can be something of a procrastinator, though (and time can often elude me).  I've read before that sometimes people that procrastinate (or have ADD/ADHD -- not sure what you think of that whole deal) almost program themselves to depend on the adrenaline rush that kicks in when they're down to the wire and know they *must* get moving on something.  I think there's probably something to that, myself.

First I want to say WELCOME!!!! Welcome to my world Keph! So happy to have another MAN to pop in! Not to worry, we won't tie you up and try to keep you here. It's just that a man lends color to the thread. Men are funny, with man humor. Oh, we can be quite funny ourselves, if I may say so myself! Go to bed can get particularly funny. Stop by, anytime.

Now about how to get out of bed early and do that regularly...become a mom. Really. Or a dad. Both feet hit the floor early and do not touch down until they pass out around 10 or later. So there you have it. Just get some kids. If that is not possible right now...practice. practice on, maybe, a puppy? Or, your sisters kids? Yup, that should do it. You won't even need an alarm clock! If those things do not work for you, move right next to a busy train track. Or...maybe next door to...a huge family with a diesel van.

Ok. Poor man comes looking for a solution to a problem. Please forgive me for treating this as a funny. It's not funny. Unless you are a mom, dad, or train engineer.

Thanks for stopping in. There are many better people who post here and do not treat everything like a joke. No joke.

Good morning. Yes, it's very grey out, but not raining.Just crazy humid. But who care. Get up. Get dressed get going. Day will be over before you know it.  Let's get it done. Did you sleep well? Guess what? Doesn't matter. Still gotta get it done.

Get that coffee down the hatch. If you're still dawdling, well of course, more coffee. Would hate to lead all on the road to addiction, but really, God made the coffee bean for a purpose. Yes, He did. The reason is because we all need that proverbial kick in the butt. Depends on who makes the coffee, but it serves as a boot in the butt. Tea drinkers....caffeine free tea drinkers.....I have no words, that are not negative. I'm not even sure herbal tea can be found in heaven. Maybe, but I doubt it. Only good is found in heaven. Neutrals, such as herbal tea, may not even be. It's quite possible, well it's not been declared, but still....when you enter heaven, even non coffee drinkers will be shown mercy. Actually, I've heard those that have had near death experiences come back to us craving coffee.

Yes, she is awesome.  You should be ashamed of yourself.  You're lucky she hasn't gone and made her very own Good Morning thread where she wouldn't be treated so poorly.   ;) :P  Not everyone can be as loud and annoying as me.  No, MLG is a lady.

On a side note Carleen, it kind of looks as though you may have gotten into some of MLG's special IV drip coffee.  You might want to check your cup.  Just sayin'.

Hey Carleen!  Squad is good.  Saturday is a work day around here.  The girls helped me catch up on laundry, clean bathrooms, and babysit so I could organize my linen closet.  I treated them to one of my special chocolates as a thank you.  The boys played around in the shed, while their Dad got some grass cutting done.  My oldest son fixed the small push mower, and did a little mowing himself.  This afternoon, girls and I are going to the grocery, the littles will nap, and oldest son is going to help husband with the wiring for some fans we added to our patio.  This evening we are grilling burgers....stop on by and have one, if you like  :). It's supposed to rain later, too, so it'll be nice to sit under the patio and listen to the rain on the tin roof.  It's a simple pleasure, but then, I'm a simple girl.

CARLEEN!!!   ;D  Sorry I just saw this.  Yes, I was in fact up and at em yesterday ... had a busy week and one of my children had a week long art class in the city, so I was out and about quite a bit with that.  I'm glad you like the avatar.  I actually have no idea who she is, just liked her picture and found her intriguing and endearing. 

Title: Re: Good Morning!!
Post by: dymphna17 on July 16, 2017, 04:57:09 AM
Good morning to all the lovely ladies and fine gentlemen here on the Good Morning thread!!!  I just have a few items to clear up (Saturday is my usual clean up day, but I'm running a little late and don't think this will violate the Keep Holy the Sabbath commandment):

Lydia:  I loved your tea picture!  Until this is changed into a Coffee Shop, I think tea is completely acceptable.  And I love your avatar as well.  Every line on her face tells a story.  I wish it was one we knew.  She has such an innocence about her and sweetness in the twinkle of her eyes.  I'll bet some of the folks here could come up with a good substitute life story.  It could even be a combination of alot of our stories.  Do you see anything of yourself in what could be her background story, Lydia?  Any of you other ladies?  I'll have to have a cup of tea after while and see what I can come up with.  You have a knack for choosing the most interesting and beautiful avatars.  You and MLG just have a gift for it.

Munda:  Did your day turn out as lovely as it sounded?  Do your girls have little cardboard "Will Work For Chocolate" signs?  Your oldest son is going to be quite the catch (should marriage be his vocation) with all these mechanical abilities.  My Hubby has saved us so much pain and agony and money, I can't even begin to add it up.  Not to mention helping others, like the widow who can't afford an AC man to come out to help her,  or the military family down the street who Dad has been deployed so he can't help fix the weedeater but knows they don't need a new one.  Little things like that can be a God send in the trying times.  Rain drops on a hot tin roof is something dreams are made of.  A simple yet endearing pleasure for a simple yet endearing SD lady.

Bernadette:  Those exercise bikes aren't the lifetime friends they are portrayed to be at the store!  I saw a made up in the store advertisement the other day that said, "Perfect for those late-night rides!  Doing it the safe way!"  Now there's an angle the ad companies haven't exploited yet.  Coming soon though, I'm sure.  You're ahead of the crowd Bernadette!  A trail blazer!  Or a non-trail blazer, depending upon how you look at it.   ;)

And Carleen:  Carleen, Carleen, Carleen...sweet, sweet, Carleen..."Stay out of this Dymph."..."Is you day gonna be as nice as mine?"..." You'll blink and your day will be gone!"  Really, Carleen?  Intimidating, taunting, and threatening?  Did Kaes give you a new job as 'Carleen, The Thread Bouncer'?  Hey, that's pretty good!  I just came up with that!   :rofl:  You gotta admit, that's pretty funny.  You totally could have that job, you just wouldn't be good at it.  You are too nice and too Catholic for it to work.  It would make a cute t-shirt though.   ;) :)

We did have a lovely day yesterday, dymphna, thanks!  Ended it playing a board game with the older kids.  It's about to rain again, so fixing to head back to under the tin roof  :). Perfect for a Sinday after noon.  We just had our Mt. Carmel Sundaes, so the kids can burn off their sugar-induced energy out there, too.  Happy feast day, y'all! 

And, yes, my boys (and girls) are incredibly blessed to have a man like my husband to be their father.  They are learning a tremendous amount of practical life skills, not to mention how to act with integrity and virtue.  Lucky kids, indeed!

Morning! Actually chilly and humid today. Kind of a weird day. But GOOD MORNING anyway! Mata, is it hot there? Hey, I loved your poem last night.

Today  I will be working on my kitchen cabinets. Still a lot of paint to strip. They are very unfancy but still  good, though at least 60 years old. The sooner I get the job done, the sooner I can get my stuff put back away! Hubby has resurrected the fronts, gluing cracks and shooting screws where needed. Maybe when done I will post a pic. May depend on how we do.

Shakespeare in Go to Bed! I loved it. And so apropos to the nonsense of last night. Would like to say it will never happen again, but how can I know this?  :D You're a good sport Mata.

Turned out a beautiful day. No monsoons that I have noticed  ;) Just sunshine and light breeze.

Most of my kitchen cabinets are in the garage. Hubby fount the coolest "dirty" stain for my old somewhat beat up cupboards. Looks great and warms up a bit with the poly he bought. I have clay tiles along my cabinets on floor that matches the hue beautifully. Plus counter top being made will compliment the tones in the wood. I love refinishing. It is so satisfying.

Have a good one, Mata. You are a bright spot on this forum.

We've been up and at it for awhile, too.  Started back up with school, since it's too hot to do much else.  We will take a break in the fall, when the weather is nice and kids just want to be outside playing.  Going to see if I can take them swimming this afternoon at neighbor's, too.

I'd come visit you Ches. Really. Glad wife and boys came. Praying for you and Fam. Been working on refinishing my kitchen cupboards, redoing the whole kitchen. I like a project, but really exhausting me. I have everything put at waist level so I can work on it.  If very high I can't keep right arm up. Anyway,Ches. Good Morning to you.

Shining up a couple bags of real silver, silverware. We have, probably by now, enough for 20 or more place settings. They look so pretty and can be picked up for a song at the 2nd hand stores. Husband was the one to make it his goal to only use silver.

Good morning all. Time to stretch, pray, have coffee,  dress and motivate towards what needs doing. It's friday. A good day to wrap things up if you want Saturday off.  Well, for many, Saturday is the day to get things done. Whatever,still time to get moving, says the lady from her bed. Though I am dressed, have been up for a while. On second cuppa.

GOOD MORNING! Gonna have a COOL day here, which is quite a relief after so much heat and humidity. My work will dry quickly and be a lot quicker going. Getting started here soon. Just wanted to say GOOD MORNING. Looking over the prayer needs here and oh so many. Will be praying while working. Poor Ches and wife. Such a hard thing to get on top of. Such a terrible twist as to a good turned bad. Here is Ches wishing he could eat and wife afraid to eat. I pray my daughter gets on top of things so she will not make her husband worry like Ches does. But for now, we enjoy every bite that goes in her mouth certainly as much or more than she does. This started after a molestation, an attack at work, so not so much like Ches wife where it too involved trauma, but back as a child, poor thing. The many ways the mind finds to cope, huh?

Post by: dymphna17 on July 24, 2017, 09:27:50 AM
Good morning indeed!  It's cooler here too, but the humidity is higher than the temperature.  How weird is that?  I remember as a kid in Tulsa when it would be over 100 degrees and raining.  We would still walk to the swimming pool though, with the hopes that by the time we got there the rain would be gone.  Otherwise we would have to wait until it passed just in case there was lightening associated with the storm.  That was way back when you could let your 11 and 12 yo kids walk 20 blocks to the pool in the middle of the city.

Come to think of it, I first noticed that kids weren't allowed to go out by themselves anymore about the time of the Tylenol poisonings in Chicago 1982.  It was as if the country just stood on edge waiting for the next bad thing to happen.  And they've been doing it ever since.  Somebody picked the USA board game up and shook it so that everything familiar and comfortable was now viewed with a wary eye.  Can you all point to anything specific that made you notice change going on around you?

I slept in, as well.  Teething baby means hardly any sleep.  So, I didn't get up until it was time for school.  I heard lots of yelling and screaming during that time, but the chores were done when I got up, so I'm going to go with "don't ask, don't tell" as to what was actually going on while I was sleeping.  I'm still in my pj's, and I have another cup of coffee waiting, plus lessons with the 5th grader.  Then, I can shower, get dressed, and get lunch ready. We have choir this evening, so I should probably squeeze a nap in before that.

We need to leave by 4:15 at the latest....don't oversleep!  ;)

The kids decided the wanted to stop and get a snack while we are out, instead of packing food.  I told them they would have to pay for it.  So, during the little kids nap time yesterday, they big ones scanned the Wendy's and Burger King coupons to figure out what would be the best deals   ;D.  It's going to take a little cheating of the system, though, because only one coupon per order.  The oldest and I will have go in and each place an order, so we can get the best deal.  Gotta love kids!

I thought that saying was pretty cool myself.  In my opinion, I would definitely say that it's OK to say thank God for no children being involved.  He knows what He is doing.  Hopefully it was His doing and not their decision to interfere.  As someone without children, I firmly believe that God has His reasons.  We may not know them and we may not like it, but that's why we constantly pray for His will to be done, not ours.

Hubby and I had rosary in the sun today. Haven't been out in a while, other than to weed. Just sat and soaked it in.

Son and girlfriend are building together a new amazing huge beer cooler. It, the biggest cooler they could find, will be on wheels and encased first in insulating styrofoam, then encased in oak. It will have artistic detail, a release for water, and a handle for moving it around. They are so cute doing their project. Girlfriend knows her power tools!

No one? Not a single charitable soul to help dymphna's plight? Oh, my heart is broken dymph.

So, got out there and finished the finish on the oak cut for my doorways. Beautiful if I may say so myself. I have every wood tone possible in my kitchen. The Terra cotta stone floor in front of my kitchen sink and the kitchen cabinets is also varied in color. But the colors match the wood tones beautifully. The Terra cotta is about 12 ft long and 4 ft deep. The rest is a varied color wood flooring. Again the tones in wood floor match both cupboard doors and drawer fronts, but also the Terra cotta floor. The Terra cotta is chipped and has the appearance of having been put to good use before. Which is sort of the theme for the kitchen. Used and comfy. The trim is all knotty and weathered.

I offered all my marbles (for free!) to y'all last night in 'go to bed'.  Not my fault if my marbles aren't good enough for you  ;)

CORRECTION:. I just saw dymph got my offer over there.  Carleen, I hope she shares with you  ;D

Open.....again. Yes open for business. I am mildly inebriated,, to my surprize, actually. The choir made me do it. I probably need to confess this and will. It was not my goal, but it happened. Oh, and did I say it was the grapefruit shandy? Leinenkugels. Dog gone it.

Good Morning! Dymphna lost her marbles yesterday so I though we could take up a collection. Got any you can spare? It's for a good cause. I have none. Mine have been taken and l am no help, but most of you still have them. So in your charity.....

They've got to be around here somewhere...

Mine ran away a long, long time ago.

You should have said something!  Hey, maybe your marbles instigated all of this and now yours, mine, and Carleen's are all down at Munda's playing.  Munda is the marble whisperer.   :crazy: :eek: :leaving:  Buwahahaha

Munda keeps the marbles she finds. She want her kids to have bigger and better brains than you and I, dymph. Can you blame her? If i'da had all my marbles back when my kids were small, I may have had each kid swallow them like vitamins. But alas, I was quite young when I lost my marbles and did nothing to replace them. Kinda sad, really. It's too late now, dymph. You could stuff my head with marbles, you know how they attach to brain cells, but with very few brain cells, they would just fall out my ears or mouth or nose. Then she'd just be gathering them back up again.

I think somebody just forgot to close your ears and little by little they dropped out.  At least that is what it looks like in the picture:

Up. At em. Yep, no wasting a single God given day. It is beautiful. Cool and sunny. Got some shelves to refinish today for kitchen. And continued prayers for my brother. He feels so alone, though he does have some family with him. He was never able to have children, which was God's Will I guess, so at least he can focus on getting himself better fed and rested. As of last night, he still had not done either.

Good morning! Heading back to dentist to see why the teeth he worked on hurt so bad. I think it's trigeminal, but don't know until he checks me out. Can't brush it or chew on it. Too bad for me. Guess I'll go get an ice cream. Hot cold do not hurt it.

No hospital has contacted my brother to say they have his wife. He only knows she is in upper peninsula.

You have to balance the bad with good.  Ice cream would be the perfect way to maintain that balance.  So, it's vanilla for you, right?  Enjoy!  I'm saying prayers to St Anthony to help your brother find his wife.  I can't believe nobody told him where they were taking her.  So sad.

Just a couple of things to start your day:   :pray3: :pray2:
My Queen, my Mother, I give myself entirely to thee, and to show my devotion to thee, I consecrate to you this day, my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my entire body without reserve.  Therefore good Mother, as I am thine own, keep me and guide me as thy property and possession, now and at the end of my life. Amen

O Merciful Jesus, Lover of souls, I pray Thee by the. agony of Thy most Sacred Heart and by the sorrows of Thy Immaculate Mother, cleanse in Thy Blood the sinners of the whole world who are  now in their agony and are to die this day.  Agonizing Heart of Jesus, have mercy on the dying.

Sounds like a good day for you and kids and hubby. You are so blessed. So am i. My daughter and baby will be here to stay for a month or so. Did you know Comcast gives a 3 month leave for new fathers? Paid leave? I am floored, and delighted! So Katie is doing so well, it is beyond my hopes for her! God has blessed the two of them beyond measure. Talking on phone with her, she gets all warm and happy whenever baby Lydia is mentioned. Even 2 years ago I could not see her well enough to be a good wife and certainly not a good mother. Her ptsd, from attack at work is so far, at least right now, so far behind her.

Have a great day Munda. You and family will have a send I'd time. And.....yes to the Dutch apples on top of, I presume, vanilla ice cream.

Coffee is delicious this morning, but I'm afraid it's not Mystic Monk.  It is, however, a lovely, whole-bean breakfast blend.  It was fresh ground, and brewed to perfection in my French press.  Enjoy!  It's a never ending supply  :D. In fact, we just wrapped up school for the day, so I'm taking a 10 minute coffee break in my favorite chair.  Daughter is cutting up some watermelon, to bring to cross country practice this afternoon, so feel free to sneak a slice of that, too, if you like.

Another morning, indeed.  Mustering up the drive to do what needs to be done......chores, school, meals, tending to children.  Tonight, husband and I are going out to dinner, so I just have to get to the end of the day!  I hope I get a nap in, so I'm not a zombie at dinner

I'm ready for coffee, but it'll have to wait until after morning chores.  I went to start laundry earlier this morning, and remembered that the dryer is not working  :cheeseheadbeer:  I discovered it yesterday afternoon when I put a load in there.  I meant to tell husband, but after taking kids to cross country, and fixing dinner, I forgot.  so, I had to hurry up and get the two wet loads of clothes out on the clothesline first thing (there was one in the dryer from yesterday and one in the washer).  We forgot to put a pull up on the toddler last night, so I have sheets that need washing, in addition to my regular load for today.  It's supposed to rain this afternoon, which means it all needs to be done before lunch.  And, I forgot it was love bug season, until I started hanging the clothes. They love white, and of course I had a bunch of cloth diapers to hang....they were swarming.  It's gonna be a great day......so, yeah, coffee  :-\

Sorry your dryer broke, but still, I love the clothes line. Especially bedding on the line. Smells so sweet. Oh yeah, toddlers  still need to get up and and pee during the night. Coffee for the weary workers, help yourself Munda!

Post by: MundaCorMeum on August 18, 2017, 08:10:22 AM
I love the clothesline, too. So crisp and fresh.  Sheets and diapers are my favorite out there.   I try to use it as often as I can, which is, unfortunately, not as often as I'd like  ;).  But, from about mid- August to mid-September, I intentionally avoid it because of the love bugs.  They're really pests.  And they smell weird.  And they multiply like crazy, and just swarm all over the place.  I don't like them getting all over the clothes.  The kids are cutting grass today, so they'll be particularly plentiful, as the lawnmower stirs them up out of the grass.  But, I have no other option for the clothes at the moment.  I just hope it turns out to be an easy fix for husband.  He said he'll take a look at it this afternoon.

Think about it Munda. Seems like a perfect day for a little something.

I very been meaning to tell you Mary, your outfit? Smashing. You look like you're going....clogging, no....out on the town.....to a romantic dinner, yes that's it. Going out on the town for a romantic dinner for 2, with candles, champagne, and prime rib.

I'm so glad you said something about mlg's new dress!  It is adorable.  And the pearls just set it off perfectly.  There's just one thing that is, well, driving me a little bit crazy.  Miss MLG, would you please bring your left shoulder down just about an eighth of an inch so it moves your head the tiniest bit to the left?  That way your head will be perfectly aligned with your arm, thus creating the perfect divide you've got going in that shot.  I really appreciate you thinking about it.  Are those roses from your garden?  Just lovely!

Munda, what are love bugs?  I hope the rain holds off to give you time for everything.  Come on God, give the anniversary girl a break!!   :pray3:   ;) 8)

Most annoying little bugs.  I've come to the conclusion that purgatory will be filled with them.  But, on the plus side, my cloth diapers are nice and fresh, and stark white again.  A good day in the sun is just what they needed.  I have two more loads out there to bring back in.  They rain hasn't come, yet, and the clothes should be dry by now.  Although, the forecast now has the rain moved to Sunday, instead.  We shall see if we get an afternoon shower or not. It's been a wet summer, which has been nice, really.  I'll go get the clothes after I get the little kids to nap.

Absolutely full of puff, fluff, and bows and ribbons and a train that goes from the sanctuary to the vestibule and I have thirteen little flower throwers and ring bearers galore. I'll plan everything. You just relax. I've even picked out the bridesmaid dresses. Let me know what more I can do for you... ;) I'm gonna need a time frame.

I'll have some with you.  We are giving ourselves a little break, and easing into the daily grind a bit more slowly today.  So, we are still lounging in PJ's, and sipping coffee slowly.  Chatting with toddler, and building a puzzle.  We do have a lot to accomplish today, though, so in about 15 minutes or so, we need to hit the ground running  :coffee:

For those who need a little extra help being all chipper and excited about a new day as dymphna is (you know we still love you, right?  ;)), I have a nice pot of Columbian roast brewing.  Say your morning prayers while waiting, and for crying out loud, don't push and shove.  Wait your turn patiently.  Ladies first.  oh, and of course, good morning  :)

A great morning to all. I am having trouble, for about a week, with neck muscles, severely limiting my movement. Not sure what I did, but an ave, please?

An Ave for you carleen.

No, I am not dead.  Just RL has turned a bit stressful and I hardly have time to lurk much less post.

DH is very sick again and it consumes most of my time and energy.

So any prayers you may offer for us would be appreciated.

God is good!

Good Morning all! Dymphna, I see you saw me last night at two. I went to sleep at about 10 35. So I must have for gotten to log off. I do that alot, so for the future, if I don't respond, I'm not here even though it says I am. Today is cool and beautiful. Working on a beautiful walnut chair. Quite ornate so it will take a few days. If I don't have a project and my grandkids are not around, I don't know what to do with myself.

Christulsa, your hologram is as active as you were! It's a busy body hologram. Good to feel your holographic presence! And yes to what Ches said in the good bye thread. The Morning and night thread is going to turn into flowers and lace if we lose the occasional male touch. We need more of that which your maleness can provide. AND this is not about the food.

I cannot do that.   Carleen.  Plain old Chris is dead.  I killed him. He was slowing me down. 

Plus, as we all know, he was too sensitive.  The new digital imprint Holographic Chris is uploaded with transhuman powers of confidence and rhetoric.  He is able to quickly dismantle the most fallacious and manipulative of arguments with a few keystrokes and advanced Aristotelean logic.   While simultaneously making pork rind nachos and Blood Mary's.  So stand down Two-Tablespoons-a-day-of-Chili Carleen.

Checked her fever, and she indeed had a low temp.  So.....baby, four year old, and I are camping out at home.  Sent salad and cookies with the rest of the fam for luncheon.  I'll say Mass prayers here, and take this quiet day to decompress and make some beef stock.  Maybe I can get the sickie to drink some and get her healthy again.  Just gotta get baby down for her morning nap first.

Thanks, Lydia.  She seems fine now.  She's sleeping =)  She ate some toast and a bowl of grits, and hasn't gotten sick, so I guess it is just a little bug.  Hopefully it's just her! That's always the kicker....when it runs through EVERYONE.  It's actually lucky it's Sunday.  No one is in the house to catch germs, and I've had time to clean and disinfect without anyone else around.  Not that I'm glad I had to miss Mass, of course

A  traditional Catholic mug would say "good morning sinners!! Mortify your flesh today"
Black coffee would certainly do it.  :ack:

A medium roast instead of dark. Use 2T half and half to cream so the flavor is softer and more subtle. Powdered cream is anathema.

Yah know what I love? I love going into the duck pen. They are sooo cute. They really know me now and when I go in to fill water pan, for swimming, they step all over my feet and gently peck the back of my legs and I can reach down and pet them. Very endearing birds. Now, the geese on the other hand.....

Baby anythings are irresistible.
What is it about animals when they demonstrate trust and affection?  so endearing.  I find it very rewarding with rescued animals who are damaged from abuse or neglect (I'm talking all kinds of species, not just domestic).  What an honor to win their trust with just patience and gentleness, and a large smattering of understanding their behavior and signals :)

lol  yes!   You're so sweet, CD.  I never took that as an insult, my friend.  I promise!  That happened on another Catholic forum too (the only ones I join :) ).
It's 100% my fault. I'm sure it's because it takes me a loooooong time to 'be myself'.  Until then, I tend toward very reserved/guarded, perhaps cold. I'm like that IRL too.  The curse of INTP / J's right?  But once I believe I can trust and let my guard down, I tend to be obnoxiously demonstrable.
My dear spouse loves it though - says he has the best of both worlds because I think like a man.  Not sure if that's a compliment  :-\ ,  but we are who we are, and there's somebody for everybody!

Good morning everyone!  I wonder what odd piece of life God will send us today.  I had a dream that I was sitting in a cemetery looking at the back of a tapestry that had been put up on the side of a mausoleum.  The only part left to be done was a piece in the upper left side.  It looked very intricate but I couldn't identify a pattern, which was very irritating.  That, and I couldn't figure out who's it was.  There weren't any other one's around and I kept thinking, "If only I had another one to compare it to, I'm sure I could figure this out!"  Then I realized that I couldn't even figure out what kind of material it was made from, let alone tie it to a specific person.  I heard a noise over my shoulder and thought maybe it was the owner of the tapestry and they could explain it to me.  I got really excited and started to turn around, and WOKE UP!!  Waaaaahhhhh!!!  I'm now thinking that that was the tapestry of my life and I can't remember what it looked like.  Maybe if I shut my eyes again it will come back to me...  Nope.  *sigh 

Jack Daniels you say, MLG?

Ok. So. My dog is nuts. Yes he is Per, nuts I tell ya. He has to stay on a chain so he doesn't go visit the neighbors dog and poop in their yard. Mating season has the two dogs howling, yes howling, not barking. Crying like babies. Now my dog has never howled while outside. Until this morning. Ok. He howls in the house but is accompaniment to the music played here. He stretches his neck up and makes the cutest O mouth and sings and sings. But that is cute. On the chain he is like a barking junkyard dog. No offense to all you junkyard dogs.

Ha!  I have plenty of the embarrassing ones, I just don't tell anybody about them.   ;)   :)  One of the weird things about this dream (one of many!) was that I didn't think about it being of someone's life.  I just kept wondering who it literally belonged to.  But when I woke up, I knew exactly what I was looking at.  Weird.

No, no one ever called me Dymph before you.  I like it though.  It's much easier to say than Dymphna and you'll still get my attention, so it's a win-win!   8)

You're so like me, PerEvangelicaDicta! My uncle always said I didn't think like a "typical woman." And it takes me a long time to warm up to people, too, but I can love very deeply once I let myself. I think you're right: it must be an INTJ thing.

Ok. Enough about my cry baby dog. It's grey outside. Sort of chilly for the last day of august. Got my coffee. Had my toast. All is well. Praise God.

We didn't school this week.  The timing just worked out that we were sick the first week of quarter break.  It was actually good timing, since I didn't lose any school time.  It's also been raining all week, so we've been camping out on the patio with blankets and tea, watching the rain.  But, the natives are getting restless now that health is restored....we need to get out of here!  Morning chores are being done, I still need to shower, then we will bum around for a couple of hours before lunch.

Now it's time to go dance in the rain with your kids!  When I used to watch my friend's children in the summer (either right after a baby was born or if her Husband took her home to Canada for a visit) and we would get a typical summer shower, we'd all get out in the yard and find the biggest puddles to jump in or just dance in between the raindrops.  It was sooo much fun!  A few months ago, one of the boys (a grown man now, but I still call him one of my boys   :laugh:  ) told me that that was one of his favorite childhood memories.

Such special memories are reserved for the "fun aunts" of the world  ;). My sister-in-law is like that with my kids.  She dresses up with them and just acts like a kid with them.  They adore her.  She is a wonderful "fun aunt".  They have a fun aunt on each side, too.  My oldest sister has all grown kids, so she dotes and plays with all the little nieces and nephews when we go visit.

Now, on a lighter note. NO. no dog talk. My hubby must be thee most squared away marine ever. Not only is he always tucked in and belted, always ready and always faithful.....he went out into the sheep pastures and eradicated every burr plant, so my lovelies will not look nappy with burrs in their wool! Of course he also takes care of every dandelion and cuts, and trims the yard and barnyard weekly.Ain't he something?

Yes, I think you do have an awesome Hubby!  If he'll go through all that to take good care of the animals, we can just imagine how well he takes care of his family.  I'm sure he has made all the other Marines quite proud.   :patriot:  It's so nice to see a man taking such good care of his family.  God bless him!

Munda, I wish I could go back to the furious pace....babies, toddlers, and up. Homeschooling, cooking for crowds, rosaries with the fam. I was productive and doing a charitable act at any given moment. Yes, I did screw up, but the opportunities for penance were never lacking. The authority over the children meant making decisions for them, instead of now, which is suffering the decisions made by them.

Morning.. 2 more days until school starts.  Was able to be home with y family this weekend. Son is excited for another year of state sponsored govt education.  cant believe it is September already. This summer felt like it flew by. Future 2nd graderbhas his backpack all packed for school and we got a welcome letter from the teacher. There is only one class per grade at his school so there's no surprise who his teacher will be and who will be in his class. That is one thing that's different abou his school experience. I went to a big public elementary school, and like a lot of big public elementary schools there were multiple classrooms per grade. So we had 5 kindergartens, 5 first grades, and so on. I remember having a lot of anxiety at the beginning of the year because it would be a new teacher and a whole new classroom full of children. Would they be nice to me? Would I have at least one friend in my class? Whereas Peter's school has just one classroom per grade, and they are small classes--i think it is 1 teacher + 1 aide and 24 students last year, this year it's 1 teacher, 1 aide and I don't know how many kids, but i'm guessing some new kids will come and some old kids will have left. So Peter is looking at a school year with a new teacher but more or less the same kids. That means that his old friendships get a chance to strengthen this year, but I am tring to encourage him to let go of last year's drama and give every child a chance to start fresh. That was one of the nie things about going to a big school with lots of kids--it did feel like every year I got a clean slate, rather than having "baggage" from previous years

Ches, like Peter, I attended very small schools. You are so wise to encourage him to give each kid a fresh start and no drama carryovers. So few students. You get pegged for something and the kids NEVER let it go. Especially in middle school. I went to a private school and one year, one whole year, I was ostracized. I never knew, still dont, why they all decided I was not to be associated with. To this day the humiliations suffered during that school year can bring tears to my eyes. It wasn't good enough for my tormenters to keep it within the confines of my school. They spread this attitude through my small town. A lonelier time I have not since experienced. My sorrow, confusion..not knowing what I did wrong, changed me. One whole year of this is eternity in a childs life. Gave me compassion for the girls on the outside of everything. I began getting to know the unwanted and unpopular, and found everyone has something interesting and enjoyable about them. When I somehow was decided to be back in their good graces, I was very frightened of losing my place again, because of a cruel whim. I had to forgive them, but I carried bitterness in my heart.

Did you say morning prayers? You really should. I find, and this is just me, but I find that praying morning, noon, and evening orients my day. Being a person somewhat prone to rambling thoughts, I need that orientation. Not to say that my thoughts don't still wander, but I can count on 3X a day getting them right! Remember my shower event? How my husband has to help me stay the course straight into the shower? Lol. That's me.

We said our morning prayers.  We prayed them outside today  :). I want to get an outdoor crucifix for such occasions.  We are hoping to host a Rosary and dinner this fall, with some of our church community, so my goal is to have it before then.  But, we do have a sacred heart flag hanging on the patio truss, so we are covered if the crucifix doesn't happen.  I wish we would've got the flag blessed first, though  :-\

havent gained any weight but the sore is not getting worse.  it just hurts.  ut it's my shoulder so it isnt as bad as pressure sore on the buttocks, that usually means bedrest but so far I have avoided bedrest.

it is at stage 2 on antibiotics and i have a wound vac.  also have this surgical wound from coloproctectomy months and months and moths ago that isnt fully healed yet.  they said that could take a year to fully heal.

I'm already two cups of coffee in, and I am ready for another.  I'm trying something new, now that the baby is sleeping better.  I'm going to bed earlier, and giving myself two hours before kids get up to pray, exercise, shower, and relax with coffee.  So, I'm getting up at 5:00.   I'm really not naturally a morning person, though I think there are some great advantages to being one, especially with kids who are early risers. . They get up at 7:00. So I'm trying it on for size.  I have to say...I'm kind of loving it.  Today, I'm working on organizing our school supplies, and doing some prep work for our homeschool co-op, which starts tomorrow.  Nothing like getting down to the wire!  Of it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done ;).   Cross country practice this afternoon, and library with the non-runners.

Get up! Get up!  :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: Just put your feet on the floor and walk. Get yourself to that coffee maker and grab a big mug! Now you know what to do.

Throw that nasty stuff in the sink, grab a big glass, fill it up with ice, and pour yourself a nice glass full of Dr Pepper!  Now there's the start of a fine morning!   :lol:

:coffee:  Just say no.

j/k Carleen.  I'm sure your coffee is perfectly, um...err...perfectly...coffee tasting.  Yes, that's it!  I'm sure your coffee is perfectly coffee tasting.   :thumbsup:

Sounds like you've got a busy day ahead of you Munda.  Smart thinking about getting up early.  That added time could make a huge difference in your day, i.e. calmer.  I'll be curious to hear how it worked out.

Has anybody heard from PerE?  I'm going to send a pm and see if she answers unless someone else already has.

Yes and no, dymph. Yes, send a pm. No, I have not heard or seen her around. Do we have to send out a missing child alert on her? I don't know about this, but remember....she has taken up sword fighting....just sayin.

I've not heard from her, either.  Hopefully, she's just busy.  Keep us posted, dymph. 


Getting up early definitely makes a difference for the better.  I've been wanting to do this for years, but I'm selfish and have not been willing to give up my late nights and sleeping in  :-[.  The actual act of getting out of the bed early is torturous for me.  But, once I'm up and moving, I'm good to go.  Early mornings are pretty peaceful.   It really sets the tone for the whole day, too.  I find I'm better prepared to greet the kids with a smile and a hug when they get up, if I'm already prayed, dressed, and have had time to ease into the day.  If I get up at the same time they do, I already feel a step behind, and I end up flustered and aggravated, which trickles down to them and it really effects their behavior and the whole day ahead.  It just goes down hill really quickly, and the kids deserve better than that.  This is my second week of doing this, and I'm finding my body is starting to adjust.  I had an easier time waking up today that last Monday.  I also slept in over the weekend, so I'm sure that helped.  Husband is my accountability partner, but he will be traveling for a week and half, starting Wednesday.  I hope I can still keep it up while he's gone!

You inspire me, Munda. I just need a posse of Littles to force me to rise above my bed and become an active woman. I woke myself up this morning around 7:45, talking in my sleep. Been doing this lately. Can't remember the dream, but I'm sure I was waxing profound, without my clothes on.

iMO, it gets rid of that yucky alcohol taste.  I don't quite know how to explain it, but you get the idea.  Kind of like when you made gravy and it has that flour taste that you have to cook out of it.

Post by: Kephapaulos on September 11, 2017, 11:57:37 PM
That's good to know that red wines cause migraines. Thanks, Dymphna!

I prefer dry red wines myself, but I like the light ones too. I remember having a dry really dark red wine from Chile of the Concha y Toro brand. I liked it a lot, but I suppose for me I like drier red wines since they have a lot more substance to them even if they are bitter. It might have to do with my melancholic temperament.

Here's a site that can help in learning about the different kinds of wines: http://winefolly.com/tutorial/wine-sweetness-chart/

Red wines go well with red meats, of course, and light wines go with chicken and fish. Rose or blush wines go with pork.

I just wondered now. If I'm not mistaken, has any company tried selling a coffee and wine mixture before?

 :seeya:  Hello Carleen and everyone!  I do hope you have a great time Kaese!  And yes, Ches, Dr Pepper does have some prune juice in it.   I think only a very sensitive stomach would notice it.  Many years ago when I was the owner of such a tummy, a Dr Pepper was the cure.  Now I just drink it because I like it.

Hey guess what?  I took my handy dandy Kitchen Aid hand blender and positioned it just so in a cherry, blueberry and pumpkin pie and whirred them up, put a ton of homemade whipped cream on top and, well, you better duck LOL!!!

A beautiful morning to you all! Back still sore but who cares I say! Got a project to work on. Found an old chair in the wood pile. Guys were planning on burning it. I noticed it still was very sturdy, no broken supports. So of course mama fished her baby out and began cleaning it up. Turned out to be a lovely piece. Getting close to putting a finish on.

Baby Lidya is now smiling at mom. My daughter is such a poor speller that they thought that was how to spell lydia. That's how (Lidya)it is on her birth certificate so that's how it will be. :)

Ok. Now I know why they call it BUDGET rental cars. Hubby got home with a lovely Nissan Altima. Heard tire noise on the way home. Checked the tires and found a bolt and washer in the middle of one tire. So they expect him to drive back to Jackson on a donut, to an office that has not picked up their phone in two hours of trying! And are closed Sunday, of course. What a deal...geesh! 😂

lol!  poor Greg.  He gets more flack for his coffee.

I haven't had any in about 2 weeks - weaned off for a bit due to a minor health issue.  Then I had a cup this morning and SO anticipated the taste memory, and it tasted, well, yucky.   :'(

Post by: dymphna17 on September 29, 2017, 12:36:07 PM
Oh, PerE!  That's got to be terrible.  You just have to change the coffee side of your brain.  Let me help you out here.

Many years ago, or "back in the day" as they say, coffee was a delightful drink enjoyed by just about all of mankind.  Then came the Coffee Wars of 2012.  Liberals began to use coffee as a tool of antagonism against everyone, even their own people who were reluctant to go along with this evil campaign.  The propaganda was put into place far and wide.  If you enjoyed coffee, you were for starving the elderly and the abuse of children.  It started in the schools by teaching the children about the evils of coffee and how there was no way their parents cared about them if they were coffee drinkers.  The message was seeped into entertainment everywhere.  Soon anti-coffee advocates took priority over politicians on the internet and in the printed word. 

When there was any time that the resistance began to gain ground against this campaign, they were quickly squashed without mercy.  But the liberals knew they had to do something drastic if they were to keep that resistance in check.  So they employed scientists to come up with a way to make sure no one would ever enjoy coffee again.  Finally, in Finland, a formula was found that could be sprayed upon the crops to make the flavor so unappealing, even the most ardent coffee lover would have to give it up.  And that is where we find ourselves today.  No matter how much we would love a cup of coffee from the days of yore, we know that such a cup can be found no more.   :coffee:  ;) 8)

Good morning.  It's gorgeous out today!  Cooler temps, and lower humidity.  Feels a little like fall.  We ate breakfast on the patio, and watched the humming birds.  Time to quit dawdling, though.  Stuff to do before hay guy comes!  Put your hair up in a messy bun, and get to it.  One of the things the kids love about hay day, is that Dad rearranges the barn, and they find all the goodies they lost out there over the past year.....shoes, pocket knives, ball caps  ;D

Fall IS here! Sweatshirt weather, cold morning and nites, but comfortably warm days. Last Sunday there was a beer tasting and rating. The theme was fall. I expected everyone to show up with pumpkin beer, but there was quite a variety. When I bring Kevin cans, I am embarrassed by the amount of beer cans, but that is from the beer tasting, and the choir parties. Oh well, good for my humility.

I'm with you, Kaes.  I'll rise, but I won't shine. 

My sweetheart bounds out of bed with energy and a smile on his face at the crack of dawn or before.  Sickeningly happy. ::)  God bless him.   
Meanwhile, I need a half hour at least just to get out of bed, stretching and praying.  I don't really want to engage with anyone for about 2 hours after rising. Now that I think of it, maybe that's why he's so happy?!
Not sure why I'm extra introverted for quite awhile, but been like that since childhood.

Good morning people.  (I dare say it is not really morning, but I am not in any state to know what time it is.)

Since I mentioned in another post that my life has been especially chaotic I thought it might be appropriate to give some further explanation.  I returned home from almost a week of helping my oldest son dealing with a newborn, a 4 y.o., and a wife not recovering well from a C-section. I was just in time for a couple of days of previously scheduled babysitting my next son's 17 month old.  During this time my daughter showed up with her 4 children (ages 9 y.o. to 16 months) for a visit that ended up going on longer than planned because she was not feeling well enough to drive home.

While this has been going on, a significant proportion of the house looks like a construction zone due a renovation project that unexpectedly went from minor to major.  (We uncovered structural problems that required replacing beams and constructing new walls.)  Speaking of support, I am also the main source of emotional support for my sister who is coping with her husband's serious health crisis.  Meanwhile my other sister is contesting the will of my recently deceased father.  As I am the executrix, this requires a bunch of legal correspondence and meetings that I would rather not be dealing with. The overall situation at my house can be summed up as:  Lawyers and toddlers and dust, oh my!

I had taken a bit of a break from this forum to give some thought to some problems I was having with it.  I reached the conclusion that my basic problem is not specifically with SD but Catholic forums in general. I had already decided to cut down on participation in all the trad forums where I am a member while I worked through this.  Life has been quite cooperative in helping me to follow through on this decision.

Oh my sweet Jayne, your life has been full of sevice, sacrifice and charity. We can only hope to be called to that extent of giving. You will be and maybe are being rewarded for your service.

RC, what liqueur do you recommend? :cheeseheadbeer:

Tequila, or any mezcal, should do the trick. Though you might wake up with a headache worse than the one from the sledgehammer.  :D

True. :laugh:

Good Morning, All! It is dark and dreary and a wonderful day, really. Still flying high over our beautiful Mass and consecration to Our Lady. Had so much cake left over, we will be distributing cake to families that attend our Latin Mass tomorrow. Going to clean myself up in confession today, so I will be like a spring chicken afterwards!

Servus, sleep well, and will see you tonight!

You know Servus, I would absolutely love to have you here. You are adorable and I can hardly believe what you've come out of and the virtue you somehow maintained. No wonder the enemy wanted your soul. I have a feeling God has innumerable plans for you, my dear. Look at you....what's not to love? I hope your family enjoys you as much as we do here! Sometimes, it seems, it does take outsiders to see what is right in front of the family's face.  :grouphug:

Well ... I can hardly believe I could go this far too .. I guess the Immaculata has been on my side all this while ... I gotta say: I feel 100 times freer after I've unshackled myself from the "LGBT" mess :)

I see that as cathartic. My husband published a book about his understanding and experience of the time he spent as a  Marine in Vietnam. It was extremely helpful for him to dismantle, and dissect his experience, the ambiance of the time, and societal attitudes.

yep, writing is always therauputic, especially when you have no time to draw stuff ... so many emotions get released in the process, allowing the mind to detox itself.

I won't be able to compete with your husband (i.e - to write so extensively until I can make a book haha) ... but this reminds me I gotta start looking for some online Catholic platforms to publish my essay when I'm done with it ... ack.

Hey Carleen, I don't know how to explain this ... but early this morning I woke up crying to a brief nightmare ...I envisioned my "transgender" friend as a darkly evil character, ordering everyone around him to "BOW TO ME BECAUSE I SAY I AM FEMALE!" ... & then in that dream I tearfully opposed: "no, we must bow to God & abide in His laws ... wake up ..." however that was when I woke up in shock... It was really disturbing :'(

That reminds me of the time I did stay up well over 24 hours straight or even possibly 36 hours. I even drove on regular roads that took time and a distance. It was pretty dumb of me, but when I finally got back to the dorm, I wanted to use the internet and konked out about 8 something pm thinking I could just lay down.

Lydia,  the sky's are sensational at night, morning, all day. Cloudy, stormy, or clear. No pollution and nothing to get in the way of the view. Just lovely. About the roof. I do hope weather complies. Son, being his own boss, loses a day of work, or several days to do this kind of work around here. It's worth it to him, but weather is a big factor.

I'm so sorry to hear that you have to sit through school for 13 hours straight ... I know it sucks, but maybe you can offer up that 13 hours for something ... say, for the love of Our Lord & Our Lady ... & maybe for some suffering souls.

Servus. Thank you for the warm welcome for Christina. But really, confetti? Always confetti? Takes me an hour to get it out of my hair! Well, as long as you don't switch to sparkly things. I hate sparkles, except on my Christmas tree!

Christina, it's about time you dropped in. Was about to call the Mounties to do a search and rescue.  :)

Light golden brown, been using the same color so long, most do not know I color. The trick is to keep dye at the roots and then at  rinse it tints the rest of the hair without ever creating dye build up on your more porous hair. You know the look. Hair on ends is darker than at roots, which is the opposite of what is natural.

I think the nice shade of brown will go really well with your late summer, early autumn outfit, mlg.  You always pick just the right shade.  And Carleen!  You have more tips and tricks up your sleeve than most magicians have even heard of.  Nuthin' wrong with that!  But who thought so much wisdom could come from a bottle of hair dye?   :P ;D

Good morning, all.

Yes, I'm still alive.  I'm asking my friends here to pray for my Dear Husband.  He is quite ill and in a lot of pain.  Father was here last Thursday to give him the Last Rites.  I don't know how long I'll have him for.

So please forgive me for not being more active on the forum.

I love you all and pray for you daily.

Good, well, spirit of the morning anyway.  I'm so sorry you all are suffering like this Orate.  It's so hard to see those you love so much in such pain.  You would take it from them in a minute, but our beloved God has deemed it necessary for us to suffer for heaven for ourselves as well.  But we can certainly help each other.  You can count on my prayers and any sacrifices I can come up with for you all.  I've sent my Guardian Angel to help your DH in any way he can.   :pray3: :pray2: :pray1:

I admittedly don't know. I've heard that it does.

Game plan for the day while I wake up... *sips Dr. Pepper*

- Attend Mass.

- Watch the TLM on livemass.net (I attend the NO; thankfully God sent us a remarkable priest who doesn't shy away from the strong talking points, ie, which various acts are grave sins).

- Read more of Chesterton and appreciate what I can understand...so much of it goes right over my head. You're brilliant, Chesterton, so I can't comprehend some of this.

- Pray the Rosary and novenas. I have two novenas going at the moment, one to the Sacred Heart and one to Christ the King.

- Talk with my boyfriend.

- Rest.

No steak:

QuoteDespite what you see in movies or on television, you should never put a raw steak or other raw meat on a black eye. The bacteria on raw meat poses a high risk of infection, and this method of treating a black eye has no scientific basis.

For better ideas:

https://www.aao.org/eye-health/diseases/black-eye-treatment

Still better:

Don't fall down!  ;D

I hope your eye hurts less after a night's rest, or soon. ...  It may not look better, if I remember black eyes. Remember the Litany of Humility  ;D ;) :pray1:

Her soon to be husband, a member of this forum, Akavit, made the box for her last Chridtmas. He then made his interest know to Bird.

Good morning to you too!  Hubby had to finally break down and turn the heater on, so it's much nicer in here.  Now I can look forward to a shower since I know I won't come out as a Popsicle.  It's a balmy 28 degrees here.  Yep, it's Popsicle time alright.  I've been looking for a nice heavy, long, wool coat online.  Apparently everyone now wants puffy coats (hated it in the 80's, hate it now as well) or is willing to sacrifice style in order to have coverage for your legs.  It's too bad we can't call up a company, tell them what we are looking for, and boom!, it magically shows up in your mail box a couple of days later.  Now THAT would be a company to invest in.  Not this new stuff where you talk to your computer and she (all the "voices" I've heard with these things are a female voice) makes all your dreams come true.  That is going to turn around and bite you someday.  George Orwell is hollering, "I told you so!" from his grave.  Anyway, time to say morning prayers for all in my SD family.  TTFN!   :pray3:

Me! Say one for Me! Yes, it's cold. Guys are trying to finish roof. It is a balmy 37 here. But the wind is a factor up on the roof. Plus, a lot of moisture in the air. Will have a nice hot lunch for them when they come in.

We too have started fires. All we have is a greedy woodburner. Bummer is, it has to be fed about 4am. No one likes having to get up and feed the monster in the basement, but even more so, we don't like getting up to a cold house. So, what cha gonna do? Well of course you feed the beast.

A good morning to all! Had a great call from Son number two. He moved to Colorado, has an 8-5 warehouse job, and is attending the tlm in a neighboring town with Son number 3. They live together with one non-son. Seems to be working well. Job pays well and will pay more after he starts training for the hi-lo. His birthday was at end of october. Got him some work boots and winter boots. Flannel sheets, and found several warm sweaters and pants for him to wear on the job. Hoping to get a box out today. His call made me happy. Hadn't spoken with him for a while.

They live together with one non-son. Seems to be working well. Job pays well and will pay more after he starts training for the hi-lo. His birthday was at end of october. Got him some work boots and winter boots. Flannel sheets, and found several warm sweaters and pants for him to wear on the job. Hoping to get a box out today. His call made me happy. Hadn't spoken with him for a while.

I'm happy for your son, Carleen. Sounds like he's living out a great life in Colorado. ^-^ (*blasts confetti*)

Well good my morning and good your evening! Thank you. My concern over my son was a heavy burden, for more reasons than I can go into on this thread. But my heart is soaring. Deon Gratias!!! Going out for groceries, and paying bills today. Not my favorite things to do, but it's a monthly must. By golly, I am finding myself sillier and sillier in the go to bed thread. Who can I blame this on? Oh! I know...Kepha. Yes he is the real culprit. But then Serviam, he did make a fairly gross contribution to the pillow fight conversation. You see? They made me do it! *borrowing confetti from Servus, who seems to have an unending supply* .

Happy All Saints Day! :)

Canada is one place where All Saints Day is not a holy day of obligation (we only have two: Christmas and Mary, the Mother of God). When I move, I'm going to need to write down all the American holy days so I don't forget!

Thanks Kepha! Same to you.

Still flying high over conversation with son number 2.  He is doing so fine! The only Statue of Our Lady we have was bought by son no. 1 for son no.2. Breaks my heart to not have it, but will be sending it out to Colorado for son no. 2. It's not mine, but I sure have become attatched to it. I have many wonderful statues and holy pictures but have never found one of our Lady in our travels. Will have to double down on our efforts to find a beautiful one. The most common have garish paint and ugly face. I want a beautiful, old school statue. Anyone have one for me to buy?

900 mass this morning for me.  Was very nice.

Ours was at 6:30 this morning.  We loaded up the kids and went.  I'm glad we did.  Father visited and chatted with the kids after Mass, then we went out to breakfast with friends.  All the kids had a dental checkup today, so that took up the rest of our morning.  Then home, lunch, naps, and got a gumbo simmering for dinner.  Husband is working late tonight, but other than that, it was a nice day

Good Morning! Speaking of cereal, now and then mom would buy some sweetened crap, but usually she made cream of wheat or oatmeal and we were allowed to put sugar and her homemade *blech* milk in it. We were very poor, but not without a treat from time to time.

I was bottom of the top 4 with 8 kids. I had one sister that constantly told me I lied like a rug. She said that so often. She could not stand my presence. She was 5 years older than me. She was so mean to me that one christmas, she bought me a new toothbrush and I was so ecstatic, I didn't realize it was a mean joke. Then, she had a type of conversion after her graduation and before her wedding. All of a sudden, my sister was sincerely kind to me, humble and good to all of us kids. She made me so happy when I was between 8th and 9th grade, asking me to be her bridesmaid. She has spent the rest of her life making up for the pain she dished out to us kids. She has become the most generous, sacrificial, kind family member. Complete conversion of the heart.

Good morning! It started snowing on All Saints Day and the weather has been cold enough that it stayed. The forecast is looking like it's winter for good. The OCD person in me was feeling satisfied with the perfect change of seasons occurring on the first of the month.
Ah well. Today is paper writing, catching up on class readings, maybe Mass, work, and then a concert (Durufle Requiem).

I also have a paper and a project stage to continue on for this weekend. So you're going to see the Durufle Requiem performed. I remember posting that in the music thread I started. Durufle's Requiem has so much of the sound of the Gregorian chant version interestingly from what I remember hearing of it.

Good morning.

Today we celebrate Saint Charles Borromeo, Cardinal, known as the scourge of Protestantism and the craftsman of Counterreformation.

In this vivid painting, the saint is portrayed in the august company of Saint Pius V, both trampling the bodies of Luther and Mohammed.

Getting ready to start a big batch, at least 8 loaves of steel cut oat and flax seed bread. Found a way to have equal part oat to flour. So, been going with it and the family loves it because it is very moist and chewy with a nice crisp crust. So...off she patters to her kitchen to cook the oats and get out her ingredients. Now don't bug her, she's busy!

No penance to me! It's what I am used to. Never used sugar in coffee and still do not. But most young coffee drinkers do. The older ones , for the most part, do not. When you guys grow up, and begin to like coffee for its coffee, then you will be able to drink it sugarless, but maybe with cream. I used to use cream. Liked it but was convinced that if I was going to drink a fair amount, I did not need all the extra calories cream adds.

Good morning! I've caught a cold, nothing serious, but something I can not complain about and offer it up for all here. I've gotta keep working on my projects. Stay busy then I won't focus on how I feel. Hubby just got over his. Only about a 5 day virus.

I'm sure loving the gift I have for refinishing. It seems tedious, but really, you can get a lot of thinking done out in the garage. Have a great Woodburner out there. I need it to keep the products I use from freezing and it makes for a quick dry time after applying my poly.

Now, how about you? What's on your agenda for today? First is get out of bed. Right? :)

I'm not feeling too well this morning, either.  But, I'm taking the opposite approach.....stay in bed, rest, lots of fluids.  Trying to not overdo it, so my body can quickly fight it off before it gets full blown.  I still have projects, too, though.  Catching up on some quilting and knitting while I rest.

Please tell me you all didn't get sick because you were at one of these events:  You will want to turn your sound down for this

[yt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOnTPyWuNIo[/yt]

This article by The Blaze has a few other videos as well as a story written about it.

http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/11/08/liberals-lament-the-anniversary-of-trumps-election-with-this-bizarre-protest/

While many Trump supporters are celebrating the one year anniversary of President Trump's shocking victory in the 2016 presidential election, liberals are planning to "scream helplessly at the sky."

What?

Yes, according to Facebook events being planned all over the United States, liberals will be screaming helplessly at the sky to express their anguish and depression over the defeat of Hillary Clinton at the hands of President Trump a year ago.

Really?

Yes, the organizers in Philadelphia explain the event saying, "Let's have a primal scream for the current state of our democracy!"


"Gather together after work at Philadelphia's City Hall, or just scream in solidarity from your own backyard," they add.

Another Facebook event read, "Let it be the scream heard round the world! Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, at precisely 6pm Eastern, 3pm Pacific, LET IT OUT!"

So about Logan. Again. He hates the time change. About 4:30, he gets antsy. Why? Dinner. He is used to dinner at 5:30. He can't tell time and doesn't know he's been set back an hour. He starts poking the back of my legs at 5. Follows me around and pokes me with his nose. By 5:30, he's groaning, wandering around  like he's lost his way. I assume all dogs are doing this when the time change happens. Can't believe PETA isn't protesting on behalf of my dog and all dogs of america.

I know, right?!  How dare they mess up dog's schedules like that.  And for what???  People! Ridiculous, indeed  :P 

Speaking of time change...it's throwing my littles for a loop, too.  After CO-OP this week, three year old son passed out on the dining room table bench  ;D  He had no shame about it, either.  He just splayed out and went to sleep, without leaving room for anyone else to sit or anything.  They also seem to be waking up earlier  :o  But, they are enjoying the darker evenings.  They love to run around outside in the crisp, fall air with flashlights and head lamps.  They sound like maniacs, though.  But, it's good for them.  Colder weather and less daylight time makes them frisky!  They need to burn off all that energy somehow.

My grandkids spend a lot of time running around in the dark. Our parties last well into the evening. Choir ends at about 8:30 or 9. They set up for dinner and the kids here just run around, climbing ropes hung from trees, swings and whatever they choose to play. We love it. They play, laugh and create bonds between the families by developing their friendships, sharing interests, such as crochet and art. Legos and reading books together. It's sweet to watch!

Good morning! Sorry so late. Gotta get back to work on table. We were just gonna refinish the top and paint the bottom, but the wood for legs and braces is too pretty to paint. Gonna go the hard way. :-\

Morning Lumen, so happy boyfriend and daughter is there to meet your family and you can be together! As a mom, I enjoyed watching the blooming relationships my children were in as they made their way to the altar.

Well, imo, (and as you've seen by now, everyone on these boards have their very own 'special' opinions, so take mine for what it's worth, LOL) I think it speaks quite positively of him that he is the one taking care of his daughter and that his family is very important to him.  I hope you have a wonderful visit with him and his daughter.

Morning, Lydia. I agree with what you said. That he came to her, that he has custody of daughter does make one very hopeful.  :)
Title: Re: Good Morning!!
Post by: Lumen Christi on November 10, 2017, 11:05:15 AM
Thank you both, and good morning, Lydia! :)

He doesn't have the sole custody of her, but he is definitely the one who watches her pretty much constantly. The fact that his ex has partial custody means she has to be with him when he gets his daughter's passport taken care of, so that's causing some delays, but you can tell he loves her very much. He's always taking her wherever he goes.

Don't be too upset about it LC.  As Traditional Catholics, we are, at least, a community of people that are few and far between, and at most, a spiritual family.  Either way, we look out for each other and care about what happens in our lives.  We are all soldiers under Christ's banner trying to learn and live our Faith.  Brothers and Sisters in Christ. 

I literally had people standing outside the Chapel protesting and trying to stop people from attending my wedding.  I was highly ticked off, to say the least, but after a while I realized that these people cared about me and didn't want to see me hurt.  They only wanted what they thought was best for me.  It wasn't done out of malice.

Just a thought.   :)  8)

Why in the world did people protest your wedding?

I was a 16 yo girl who belonged to a newly formed Traditional Catholic parish and I was marrying a 21 yo bad boy from town.  Ours was the third wedding all together and the first one of a parish member to someone from town.  We had people from the parish on one side and people from town on the other trying to convince people not to attend the wedding.  36 years later, we're still together!  A few of those people have apologized, which was really nice of them.  But like I said, they only did it out of concern, which, looking back, I can appreciate it now.

Also, words of wisdom: If your box of sushi says "no raw fish" on the top of the container, it's likely best to stay away. This is a different brand than I'm used to and it's got a very rubbery texture.

Good morning, Servus! :) You're very welcome! Do you have a favorite kind of sushi? California rolls (crab, cucumber, avocado) are my favorite, but I also really like spicy crab rolls. There's a fusion restaurant nearby that sells a combination plate of California, spicy crab, and dynamite (fried shrimp, etc) rolls. I'm not big on the dynamite roll, but the other two are amazing.

THEY SELL DYNAMNITE ROLLS?! wow, I bet they are flaming spicy, given the name haha.

My favourite sushi is the Tamago (aka the one with a slice of omelette on top), the Sake (aka Salmon), the Hotategai (aka Scallop), the Kappa Maki (cucumber roll) & the California Roll (with all sorts of misc ingredients lol). Not a huge fan of the gunkan maki (the one with orange fish eggs), though ... ate it once & it was messy, not to mention having the terrible thought of murdering potential baby fishes in the process, haha ...

They're actually very mild, ironically! And speaking of sushi, I asked my mom if she would be interested in ordering Chinese food for dinner from the same place that sells the sushi combo plate, so I'm actually going to be getting a box of what I mentioned above! Although I am interested to see if the dynamite roll can be swapped out for more of the other two.

Lots of rolls I haven't tried! The omelette one sounds really interesting. Yeah, the spicy crab roll has a small section of orange blobs and I don't know if that's roe or not. The most unique ones I've tried have been barbecue eel (way less scary than it sounds, and also tasty) and octopus.

Morning.   I think the baby is either teething or coming down with a cold.  She had me up at 4:30, and just wanted to nurse to her hearts content.  I've also got a handful of extra tween girls this morning.  Oldest daughter had her birthday campout last night, since we weren't able to do it on her birthday weekend.  They are such good kids!  They are outside, enjoying the weather.  I'm organizing my pantry.  I'm ready for some more coffee.

I really need to do some tidying up, myself. Thanks for the reminder. I don't know what it is about me, but my bed seems to end up holding a great deal of my stuff. I try to keep my material possessions to a minimum---I'm one of those people who would rather use one purse until it gets tattered and unusable than have a bunch of purses to coordinate with my outfits---but I inevitably end up placing something on my bed, and then another thing, until it gets overrun. Just a quirk of mine, albeit one I need to work on, because it makes my bed messy in no time.

Heating pads are your friend. But I understand. I've had to miss Mass due to sudden stabbing pains that came around at a bad time. :(

I had to miss Mass this Sunday because I get a ride with my mom and our dog (post-surgery) can't jump, lick at his wound, try to rub his wound against something else, etc, so we need to stay here and watch him.

Happy Thanksgiving we are going to watch the parade in a little bit although it takes forever until the bslloons cone out so we usually skip that

My mom is here and my sister her husband and kids, my other sister and her husband, my brother, and my friend and his girlfriend.  I think my wife is in the kitchen trying to roast a turkey for the first time.  Food centric holidays  and eating disorders are a difficult combination

what's everyone thankful for

I'm thankful for the existence of this forum & for all my fellow brethren behind it. What was a lighthouse for me in the most desperate time of my life, became my daily hut of refuge.

A blessed & happy Thanksgiving to all & everyone on the other side of the globe! ^-^ (*blasts confetti*)

Lumen, would you please give Exodus a listen, and let me know how you like it? Pretty please? It's posted right below this thread.

Please, anyone who reads this. Please let my hubby, and I, know what you think. I would really appreciate that  :)
Sure thing! I'll do that later today. I need to get some sleep soon. I'm feeling a bit under the weather.

Good morning to you too!  It's cloudy and a little chilly, but the wind has died down so it won't be too terrible out there.  Here's to a new day to work our way to heaven!!   :beer:   :)

Did anyone get anything exciting on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?  It's been several years since I've done any shopping on those days.  There was a couple of years that we spent the night camped out in front of Best Buy for Black Friday.  We just haven't needed anything since then.  One year we did it for some elderly friends.  One couple needed a new printer but hadn't been able to afford it and another needed a new desktop computer.  Neither couple would have been able to stay out in the cold all night, so out we went.  Suddenly we were getting calls from family members and other friends who put in their orders, "since you are going to be out there anyway...".   :lol:  We didn't care, it was fun.  Other years, Hubby's family would pour through the ads, make lists, and then we would each take a store to shop.  We got alot of good things that way. But that was before Cyber Monday and Amazon.  This year I finally broke down and ordered sheets and towels and now I have a new crock pot on the way!  I didn't realize how small mine was until I measured it against what I ordered.  It's never really held everything I put with a roast.  Yesterday I found out why.  It was only a 4 quart round crock pot!  So having a 6 quart oval is going to be a dream.  All the celery and carrots I want should fit in there nicely!  I do hope this new one lasts as long as my old one.  It was a wedding gift!   :eek:

Choir practices tonight. This means, afterward, their buffet will include meats! Practice is usually on a friday, so then their fare consists of salmon, swordfish, tuna casserole, shrimp and crab. Plus many types soup, breads, salads. Never boring, but meats open up more food possibilities. Wine, beer, mixed drinks, soft drinks. No matter what, they always have a beautiful buffet. Come on over, enjoy the music and the food!

Three Lessons from this picture:

1. Sometimes the best response to provocation is not to fight.
2. Not all opportunities are to be taken. Some are traps.
3. A person can become so determined to destroy another person that they become blind and end up destroying themselves.

You mean the lettuce you pay doctors to tell you now that it's all in your head... just will the pain away... if you don't believe in it, there is no pain... someone up in Kalamacumquat, Missouri thought he died from a pain med so we can't prescribe them to anyone ever again unless you are with Hospice... kind of lettuce?  Nope, never tried it.   ;) :)  I do hope and pray it will help.

we had snow this weekend but we weren't expecting to have snow that early so my wife hadn't bought snowsuits for the boys yet... It didn't stop my older son from squeezing into his snowsuit from last year I said he looked like a little snow sausage in that thing..

seems to have melted now

I can see your little sausage out there, not caring how he looked, just enjoying the snow. And, you were home to watch the making of that little sausage! Prayers, always!

Happy Birthday, Ches!!  Welcome to 36 ;) 

kids enjoyed snow here, too, this past weekend.  It was fun to see them enjoy it, because it only happens down here maybe once a decade or so.  Atleast, the kind of snow that sticks and accumulates. We got almost 5", and that's ALOT for us.  Needless to say, we have zero snow suits and probably never will, but it didn't stop them from playing in our winter wonderland.  They got cold and wet really quickly, though, so they played in brief phases, off and on, through out the day.  It's completely gone now, and temps are starting to creep up again.  It was quite beautiful and wonderful to watch it steadily falling.  There's something very peaceful and quiet about a blanket of snow covering the world around you....well, until you have to face the repercussions of heavy snowfall on power lines and freezing temps on water pipes  ;D

Oh my goodness...I have a new favorite tea. I got a large English Breakfast tea with two sugars from Tim Hortons to try it...and it was pretty robust and a bit bitter, but I had read that it's good with milk, so I put some milk and an extra sugar cube in it (large tea needs more sugar, in my opinion...medium is good with two), and the milk made it so good!

Hubby just finished plowing driveway. The wind makes drifts quickly. Living in the middle of farmland, there is little to stop the drifting snow. I have bushes and trees in my yard but they do nothing to stop the blowing snow. One year, trying to get through some high drifts with my Pacifica, my muffler system was pulled right off! Taught me a lesson.

Trying to get the house ready for Our Lord!  It's Gaudete Sunday weekend, so this is when we do most of our decorating.  Getting the tree today, and going to hang some garlands and Christmas wreaths....hopefully, if time allows.  If not, we still have Saturday and Sunday =)  Menu planning and grocery shopping.  Cleaning and tidying.  Tomorrow, taking some down time alone, since hubby is finally back home ( :cheer: ), and then finishing my Christmas shopping.  Need to find some time today to be silent and pray. I've not done enough of that lately :/  Somebody's gotta be Martha....right???  ;) 

I refuse to talk about exercising right now! hmph!!

No, they're two distinct teas. Earl Grey is actually what I used to order from Tim Hortons before discovering English Breakfast. English Breakfast is more robust and full-bodied than Earl Grey. It's also much, much better with milk, in my opinion.

Yes they have all been by c section. Her last baby was only about 3 or 4 months old when she became pregnant for this one. So God willing, this will be number 7 and possibly her last. 7 kids in 9 1/2 years is a lot of stress on the poor girl.

Good morning! A dreary day here. Going shopping for Chistmas. There is one cookie I make, then my girls do the rest of the baking. We love gingerbread cookies. So gotta get the ingredients. They really like them with a bit of orange rind in the frosting. Amazing how flavorful the rind is.

That's awesome!  Somebody knows you well.  But why would they make a coffee blend and name it after a rodent?  Granted, they are cute and make fun cartoon characters, but...  I detected a hint of maybe a sports mascot?  That would make more sense, now that I think about it.

Negative 8 for the high today.  It's supposed to be a negative 15 for high tomorrow.  Staying inside (possibly till April).

It's 72 degrees with calm winds...  in my house!  Outside we're going to warm up to a mostly cloudy 33 degrees!  I wish we had snow.  That would at least make it all fun!

Now that you say that, if we could convince God to send half of your snow here, it would be easier for you and more fun for me!  OK God!  We need to chat!   :beer: :pray3:

I'm sorry Mary and Dymph.Not so sure God wants to chat about the weather. It just is what it is. Now maybe if "weather" is an actual soul that moves around our Temps and delivers our precipitation.....but even then He may not consider it any of our business!

If He desires me to handle the effects of the cold well, i.e. frozen pipes, no water due to water main breaks in the area, a crabby Hubby because he hates working out in the cold, He'd best care a bit about sending us colder temperatures.  He creates it, He sustains us in it, yet He allows us to be affected by it.  I think He cares.  It might only be a smidge, but He cares.   :P 8)

Everything is a test for us to give the greater glory to God.  No matter how small.   :cheeseheadbeer:

So true, dear Dymph. That makes sense. And yes, everything IS a test. Everything. If we get through without complaing, or wishing it was different, we get to the other side. We win! Anyone know what the other side looks like? Dymph?

Not even just a teeny little bit of complaining.. and wishing? It seems there is one BIG test with the other side we're aiming for, but many little tests along the way can be failed, as long as we keep trying to please the Tester.

True Non! I seem to fail more than not but I do keep trying. May my few successes be pleasing, small as they are. The BIG test, it would seem to me is to avoid despair on the death bed. Despair is the greatest test of all from what I have read about the 4 last things. The evil one tries until he has exhausted all his final temptations upon the passage of the soul from this life to the next. A test, the final test of which we have yet to experience, no experience to draw on, so truly the unknown temptation. Intellectually, we know of it, but to face it, will require the help of the blessed Mother and all the saints so we can pass it in the fashion of a "holy death", which we have prayed for many times during life.

Every day of our lives is meant to be lived so on the day we die, we can be with our King for eternity.  The closer to death I come, the harder it is to focus on this truth without fear and trembling.  God help me.   :pray3:

"Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that have received--only what you have given." - as what St. Francis would say about D-day.

To be very, very frank - no youth of my age would dare to talk about the big D as it's a topic usually reserved for the elderly & the aged (given my country has to tackle with an ageing population.) It's very easy for my father to rattle on & on about his potential death at any day, any minute, but so much harder to prepare for it. Preach death to anyone on the street & you will spat in the face for being a harbinger of the ominous.

That said, one thing that I'm trying hard to do on my bucket list is to live a holy life in complete union with the Master & then die a Saint for my collapsing country. I'm nowhere "there" yet, but my country is in very dire need of one. :pray3:

i think this is worried why i worryso much about "d day" i cant seem to build any virtues here on earth.  cant go a day without complaining sometimes a minute, yet this is the catholic ideal for dealing with suffering.  The saints are always saying that suffering is to be endured without complaint, with full total acceptance, not wishing things were different.  Well I just wish things were different.

it seems cruel to send someone a truckload of physical and mental suffering and then expect them to suffer even more with isolation and they cant even wish things were different.  it's not enough to just suffer, apparently the ideal is suffering alone, in complete silence, with no one even noticing your suffering it has to be a complete secret.  and then people tell you "God doesnt send you more than you can bear."  every time I try to do this I explode and end up lashing out at my wife and kids.  there is nowhere for the pain to go.

Ches, know that you are not on your own as by your sufferings you suffer in union with Our suffering Lord who endured the toils of Calvary & was nailed to the cross for the love of you. I know it's so much easier said than done because what you struggle with can be utterly a deep burden, a mega-huge cross for you to bear every single day of your life with no hope for being liberated ...  but please remember that we Catholics, your fellow siblings in Christ, are with you on the same journey of non-stop hardship. Same path. Same rocky way in hopes of attaining the crown of eternal glory at the end of day.

No cross, what a cross.

Chestertonian,  you make the huge mistake of thinking God despises and rejects those who are not "ideal".  It's just not true.  God very much takes your physical and mental suffering into account when He looks at you. I think perhaps it is YOU who are hurt by your not being ideal; you think you have to be a Saint with a capital S, but that might not be what God wants for you.

Catholic books and sermons do emphasize what is ideal (that is natural), but they aren't addressing exceptional cases such as yours, and don't always explicitly speak about how NONE of us will be "ideal" (perfect as your Heaven Father is perfect) until heaven

I too often wish things were different, with the puniest of reasons, not the overwhelming reasons that you have.

God grant you more peace in the upcoming year.  :pray2:

that could be true just seems like he has His back to me if He isn't actively beating me up e erytime i tried to visualize myself with our Lord it feels like he's slamming my body against something hard and bashing my head against the floor.. wharever pain my body is feeling at the time feels like God is personally inflicting it.. it's like being a kid again getting beaten with a belt except the punishment doesn't end.  I could never trust my dad or anyone else after being hurt I can't imagine that God will listen to my pleadings I can't stop thinking about how He specifically wants me to go through the things I've gone through and how much he wants me to be humiliated and to have my dignity as a person taken away

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us so that God could experience that pain with you.  He is not inflicting it.  He is suffering at your side so that you do not go through it alone.  He bore all the pain and humiliation of humanity, yours and everyone else's.

He does not make it disappear.  He transforms it to a path to Himself.

Gotta get my good morning in before it's afternoon! Good morning!!! 2 degrees here. Make a person want to neglect their sheep! Poor things! Getting to be time to start putting the ewes away. They are very round and getting ready to drop their lambies. Probably February, but hard to say. They will be born from end Jan to March. That's how it went last winter. Some are fertile all year, and some at certain times. Depends on breed.

that could be true just seems like he has His back to me if He isn't actively beating me up everytime i tried to visualize myself with our Lord it feels like he's slamming my body against something hard and bashing my head against the floor.. wharever pain my body is feeling at the time feels like God is personally inflicting it.. it's like being a kid again getting beaten with a belt except the punishment doesn't end.  I could never trust my dad or anyone else after being hurt I can't imagine that God will listen to my pleadings I can't stop thinking about how He specifically wants me to go through the things I've gone through and how much he wants me to be humiliated and to have my dignity as a person taken away

Oh Ches ... God is not some tyrannical dictator seating on a golden throne to happily watch you suffer; He is a loving Father who can't bear to see you suffer ... Sure, he doesn't take away your sufferings, but rather suffers alongside with you. Keeping you in my prayers tonight. :pray1: :pray2: :pray3:

Maybe that's where the benefit of being a cradle Catholic comes in, Ches.  Years of being told nobody asked you to have faith in your prayers, do it anyway!   :lol: :grouphug:

I know Ches.  I understand.  Your daily job right now is to love God because He is God, even though that is going against every fiber in your being right now.  The battle between truth vs. feelings is the war being waged within you.  Sometimes every minute of every day is yet another battle.  It's one that must be fought though.  You can do this.   :pray3:

Well that's no motivation!!  I need pressure!  Lots and lots of pressure!  How can I be a good perfectionist without pressure?  :lol:  No, it's not that bad.  I just have to gain the knowledge somehow to do what I have in my mind's eye.  I'm pretty sure that about the time I give that search up, it will all fall into place.  Isn't that how it works?

Dear Ches, snow was rained away. Snow beginning again, so won't be long and will be accumulating again, I'm sure. Please offer just a tad of your suffering for my newborn grandson, 9.7 pounds and just beautiful, says gramma. This is daughters rainbow baby. Sugar unstable, plus daughter lost tremendous amount of blood and temp as low as 94.5. That seems to be correcting, she is up to 97.5, but baby's sugar levels after 10 hrs still unstable. Thanks.

My dear man, just your presence must be a great consolation to her. Friends are nice but can cause agitation through no fault of their own. But, people must at some point be tolerated, for her own well being. We don't live in a bubble, of course, so exposures to the outside world are part of the cure, painful as it may be. So glad she had your company. She needs the love you have to offer. God bless you and heal her. Each ptsd episode sets my husband back a step. But, afterward, his step forward is with a firm resolve to correct what he can.  :pray1: :pray2: :pray3: Am very hopeful she will soon reach a point that her desire to see her boys will override her reservations, which are not 100% unfounded. That being what it is, to be with sons will act as an elixir to motivate her to make progress and go home. Always in my prayers. Always.

Nope just a few tasks. Our state gives a tax exempt (only property tax) status to veterans 100% disabled and unemployable. I have to get the paperwork and proof out to village treasurer today. Plus Dom still has mail sent here so he can keep his vehicle insurance at a fair cost, so gotta get his mail out to him. Am making a lot of food so there will be plenty to just pull out and heat up. Love to get a bit ahead on that. My meds are working ok, so my productivity is rising, thanks be to God. Will be out for a few hours, then back to harass the forum this afternoon. Have a good one!

Oh. My. Goodness. I have almost missed Good Morning. It is 11:30 here. Cold and windy. Ewes are getting ready to pop. Son just moved the biggest into stalls for before/after birthing. Ive seen them give birth in the bitter cold and watched the newborns follow mamas around when it was 0 and below. Very stout little creatures. But penning them keeps them warmer/less stress for mom and baby. They almost need to be forced inside, and always need company so they dont feel isolated. They are very social and need their herd. Will have some lambs by next week. Yep. Pretty sure. My favorite part of raising sheep. Sitting on my sun porch, watching the sheep, is therapy.

Post by: Scowler on February 05, 2018, 08:32:23 AM
Thank you all for your welcoming words.

Hobbies? Loving my family - full time. :) My son just had to undergo a minor surgery, removing a cyst from his back. We apply the fresh gauze pads every afternoon - so he can come every day and has dinner with us. Extra benefit for us, too. :) Reading books, working out in the gym, playing games, and also coming here to learn new things. Being and old bugger would be a lousy excuse to develop a fossilized, closed mind. Many years ago we had a failed business ;) - who did not? But part of it was a thorough psychological evaluation, and my results were pretty interesting. Lazy in private life, industrious at my job, moderately outgoing, but my "openness" trait (measuring the ability and desire to learn new things) was off the chart. (By the way, that is not something I could or would be pride about... I was born this way).

It is good to be retarded... ahem, retired, though I miss the part of my stamina I used to have, but lost it somewhere during the journey. But that is life...

Good Morning, Scowler! Always a sweet surprise to have a visitor to this humble  insignificant realm! My husband says the same thing, same joke, now that he is retarded, he has all kinds of time. He is a disabled veteran, 100%. But that is a determination made just 8 years ago.

He worked skilled trade for Ford. He is a writer  musician. But first foremost, on an earthy level...a MARINE. He runs and works out and can still wear his marine uniform! Yep, a bit big headed about that! :) He just turned 70. I am 11 years younger.

Sorry for sons bit of trouble, but glad you have the benefit of his company!  :)

We have 6 kids. All practice the Faith and worship in the old rite. We have one builder/choir director/ tenor/sacred music composer/ classical guitarist, one photographer/mother of 5, one portrait artist/mother of 7, one creature control tech/mold removal/insect controller, another portrait artist...both artists, by the way, professional though self taught. One factory rat/animal art/ unique characters, such as you find in animation. All artistic talents self taught, but there are degrees along their way.

That is my bragging paragraph. Ahem....I'm done now. You're very much like us. Family. Family. Family. If I've not done anything else right in this world. I got THAT right.

About time. Hubby says he now has too much free time. Finds way too much of it spent on the computer. He has spent a whole lot of time in studio producing music. Downside...it's very expensive to produce professional work. Hiring musicians to accompany and so on. Now he just want to put money into helping the kids raise their own kids. And give money away to the needy when possible.

Side note: it's only you oldsters that can get way using the joke you both do about being "retarded" now. It is so not acceptable now. Yet I never fail to laugh when he says that! Guess I'm not very politically correct, am i?

It's a pleasure to have you, Scowler! Not a whole lot of controversy here. Just a hot cup of coffee and a friendly greeting, which we can all use.

Post by: Scowler on February 05, 2018, 11:23:47 AM
Ah, how I love the politically incorrect jokes. :) And especially the "hidden" punch-lines, where the end is not spelled out, but the listener has to "participate" and figure out what is the fun part. In a sense it is just like the short stories by Stanley Ellin, who has many "horror" stories. Not like the usual ones with ghosts or aliens; in his stories you find only everyday people, in everyday situations, but the surprise is there - after the last line! You finish the story, and start to gasp.. no, he could not really mean it :) . But he does. If you can find his book in the library, "The Specialty of the House", you will see what I mean.

Adding. I just found it on-line under http://codefool.org/wiki_165/index.php?title=Stanley_Ellin_-_Specialty_of_the_House

re: cyst...  an odd common denominator, but we'll take what we can get, right ?!  (yes, I'll grasp at straws to befriend an "enemy"  :P)  My spouse has 2.   Both eradicated with castor oil, but one is slowly returning.   Pretty clever to use the gauze change tactic to see your son often <smile>
What a topic, but luckily in the coffee pot threads, we can derail to our heart's content! 

I pulled up the Ellin link on my ipad to read tonight.  I enjoyed your description very much, right up my alley.

With your entrance to SD, I've been reflecting (and a little ruminating) on my former Libertarian/Objectivist life and mindset, pre-tradition.  I relate to your statement:
Quote...my "openness" trait (measuring the ability and desire to learn new things) was off the chart. (By the way, that is not something I could or would be pride about... I was born this way).
To that end, what do you think of the Myers-Briggs type indicator? FWIW, there are a stinkin' lot of INTP's and J's here :P
Title: Re: Good Morning!!
Post by: Scowler on February 05, 2018, 03:29:24 PM
Fortunately we can see him every day we invite him. He would never show up uninvited... not that I would mind if he did. As for the test, I am not a psychologist. But I took the test (not the first time), just for the fun of it. It still turned out to be an INTP-A :) Looking at the examples, it is not a bad company. 

I am very glad that your put quotes around the word: "enemy". A better word might be adversary (is that a good translation for "Satan" :) ?). When I watch the football games, I see fierce competition, but at the end of the game two teams embrace each other. That is something I like very much. Respect the others, even if there is a disagreement.

I don't particularly like to be "boxed-in", but if you would prefer to use one, I would be a libertarian. Never to initiate hostility, but willing to defend if I must.

I looked up the "Big 5" test that we used in our (failed) business. It failed due to our lack of business acumen... hehe! Not because we had a lousy system. I scored off the chart in openness, zilch on neuroticism, below average on conscientiousness, mediocre on extroversion and also mediocre on agreeableness. Looks pretty precise to me.

Good Morning. Back from hosp. Testing done. That's all,  just scan done. Now...coffee! Scowler? Tea or coffee? We have virtually any kind you could desire. A little nip in your coffee. Got that too. Yup its allowed in the morning as a medicinal. Per? Little bit of Irish coffee? Little bailey's and a shot to go with your cuppa?

Dymph? How about you? How's the head?
Martin...how's the gut? Any better? No shots for you!
Mary? Lynne? You're at work, so no shots.
Non, how but a nice hot one?

Dymph, got a cookie to go with? An ore is not bad with coffee or tea. But a scone is much more delightful. Far be it from me to tell you what to bring to the table! But scone ARE better. Just sayin.

What a wonderful choice!

In the mornings we drink herb tea, orange and peach flavors, sweetened with honey and a few drops of lemon squeeze. Coffee is usually a Sunday treat, with a little whipped cream. Irish coffee is reserved for special days - though what is special is decided on the spot, whenever we feel like it. Though for Irish coffee I take a little Irish whisky. :) Bailey's cream is very good too.

Hmmm... scones? How about some "töpörty?s pogácsa"  https://festival.si.edu/blog/2013/tepertos-pogacsa-savory-biscuits-with-pork-cracklings/ The pictures are here: https://www.google.com/search?q=toportyu+pogacsa+recept&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj3o66o3pHZAhVltlkKHeLJC30Q_AUICigB&biw=1600&bih=816

Oh, please stop right there. The pictures alone make me hungry for THAT!!!! Yes, Irish coffee is not my everyday go to. I too reserve it for special times. Whatever I deem special. My son turned me on to whiskey (good quality a must) and a dollop of real, not fake, whipping cream. Heavy whipping cream. Doesn't take much and the whiskey provides a bit of the sweek to it. It goes without saying, the coffee must be now, right now brewed, premium coffee. Keep it off the heat or you wreck it.

You and your dear wife sound like hubby and i. We make every morning an event. 2 thin slices of steel cut oat bread...home made, good coffee for me, tea for him. Quality fruit spread, or apple butter and 1 hour of conversation. We pray yogether, eat together, laugh way too much, if that's possible, and discuss current events, kids, grandkids, the past and the present. We are the best of companions after a long hard life. A very hard life that did NOT suck the life out of us, but certainly seasoned and cured us to last until God calls us home. Cheers!

ETA: Forgot to mention an integral part of our morning event. The great migration. Every morning we watch the sheep migrate, in single file, from the back of the property, behind the barns, to the front where we can watch them do sheep things. Like cry for their hay. But now and then there is a teeny tiny one from a mama we missed penning because she didn't show much. The Ewes are penned this time of year so they don't have to fight the elements and can save their energy for birthing. Our big ram is fond of throwing the babies around, so we try to get the pregnant ewes separated from him.

The birds that flock to our front feeder are a hoot, too. Yup, fun times. Scowler, do you have animals? Lots of work, but then, lots of meat....farm fresh, wonderful clean meat. Added bonus is that the lambs are a riot for the kids to cuddle and play with. That is if they can catch them! By the time of butchering they are not so cute, which makes the task much easier.  :)

As much as I relish my intellect fed, following the theology and philosophy threads here at SD (and other trad Catholic sites), I just love these personal accounts of our SD family.   I tend toward an extreme in objectivity, sort of a default emotionally divorced, so reading about 'the family' here floods my heart with love.

Holy smoke, Big S, that biscuit recipe!  It's actually not bad on the health scale.  I wonder if you can substitute pork rinds?  Although the belly is so darned delicious. My spouse is of Eastern European extraction, and one of the family friends was Hungarian, so I learned how to make turo (curd cheese).  It's ridiculously easy and the whey from making it is fantastic in recipes, even added to dog food.

re; coffee... got up late, started late, just finished my cup of infused coffee.  Does that sound obnoxiously eccentric?  I'm a bit scrupulous/OCD, so I'm fussy about certain things.  I promise it doesn't come from a prideful place. 
I never ever had Irish coffee in my entire life, and then I traveled to Ireland with my brother/his family 1.5 years ago (spouse couldn't go!  oh, what he missed!).  We were at a pub in Co. Donegal - the wild Atlantic side is the best, imho - and one was served up for me.  Life was forever changed lol

Hi Carle

Well, we don't have a whole lot of conversation... after all we can finish each other's sentences. No more individual thoughts... how boring!!! ;) But what can we expect after 30+ years? As for the animals, we only have wild birds in our back yard. They are fun to watch. Especially the hummingbirds. Definitely no cats. They are beautiful, but they are predators. Did you know that they kill about 100 million songbirds every year? And another fact. Here in the States people spend more money on their pets, than the whole third world can spend on medical care... scary thought.

---------------------------------

Hey Per,

I have Zsuzsa's kitchen among my favorites. Oh, well... Next time we can exchange recipes, for example "Hungarian layered potato and egg casserole" (Rakott krumpli) Now that is actually mainlining cholesterol. And it is even better the next day, heated up. Baaaad for you. But the saying is still true: "everything that good is either illegal, immoral or fattening".

Here is a recipe https://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/24/the-temporary-vegetarian-hungarian-potato-and-egg-casserole/ but mine is much better. No butter, rather bacon cut into small pieces, and rendered (on a little oil). No onion either. Then it is mixed up with generous amount of sour cream, and then 5 layers in a large Pyrex or aluminum dish, potato, eggs, potato, eggs and potato. On each layer put the rendered bacon + sour cream. Finally at the end place slices of bacon to cover it. Then into the oven, for about 40 mins. I only use salt, not pepper or paprika.

---------------------------------

As for conscientiousness, it adds up from two aspects. Actually, the score is not too low. When I was still working, I was very conscientious in my job. But not in everyday life. Even at work we were required to wear a shirt and tie, and were not allowed to wear jeans. :) So I did wear a tie, always loose, the neck of the shirt was never buttoned up, and I wore designer jeans... and for shoes, only moccasins ;) That pretty much shows by attitude toward rules and authorities. I do have my seal belt buckled, but it is as loose as it can be - it would not protect me in an accident. As you can see I follow the "letter" of the law, but not the "spirit" of it. Can't stand the "nanny"-state.

Well, after 40 years we still find an awful lot to say, but then, we both have the gift of gab! Though, I must say, we do finish each other's sentences quite often.

We have for pets, just our dog and barn cat. Both are well cared for, but neither cost us much, because all our money, extra money goes into helping our 6 kids. Never were one to indulge our pets. That being said....our dog does love a good omelete. Joking. Not. And a piece of toast with us in the morning. The sheep, they provide for us.

Morning, my peeps! Get up! Get it done, just don't wake up Dymphna. Hopefully she is sleeping, poor thing. And Munda? Well with all she has on her plate right now, I how she got a wee bit more rest than usual!

I actually did sleep pretty well last night, Deo Gratias!  And, the kids took care of breakfast this morning, so that was a treat, too.  Bagels with cream cheese, and a fried egg on top.  I even did French Press coffee today, because...why not?  Have you ever tried a coffee frother??

I do!!  I won it at a Christmas party this past year. IT'S AMAZING!  I put some 1/2 n 1/2 in my cup with a little sugar, then use the frother to, yes, whip it in to a bubbly froth.  Then, pour warm coffee on top.  It's pretty great. Something about it that makes coffee even better (who knew that was even possible?!)

Here is another trick for all you coffee lovers. Especially for those who do not "frown" on instant coffee. Take your cup and put your preferred amount of sugar and coffee in it. Take your hot water, and pour it into the mix one droplet at a time, making sure that it will not turn into liquefied form too soon. As you keep stirring it, it will change from dark brown to light brown and then to warm yellow. When you like the color and the texture, you can pour the hot water in, and enjoy a very satisfying cream-coffee - without any cream in it. As for the amounts, I use 2 teaspoonfuls of sugar and two teaspoonfuls of instant coffee in a regular 2dl cup. The water is about 1.5 dl. YMMV ;) Currently I use Kroger's coffee, the regular kind, but of course it works with decaf, too.

I use a glass cup, because I like to see what I am about to drink. :) I don't even have a ceramic cup.

Enjoy!

Scowler, I am ashamed to admit my coffee snob ways, but there you have it. You wouldn't think sheep farmers would be coffee snobs. But we are. We went through 4 years of utter poverty, caused by a few factors. But, every single day we enjoyed great coffee. No cream, no sugar, no pastries to accompany it, but by golly we had great coffee, made by a french press. So much we did not have, but we had our coffee, talk time  and birds to watch. A tough time I have no desire to relive, but we found ways to make it bearable! Our Faith was an enormous consolation, along with our kids.

Good morning all!  It's really sweet of you all not to bother me while I get some sleep.  I'll have to put that on my agenda for the day.  (Note to self:  Go to sleep, dang it!)  I got to sleep some time after 1:30 am and then my sweet Hubby was covering me up and accidentally knocked me in the head.  I came up swinging, not knowing what was going on.  Poor guy.  After that I had too much adrenalin  pumping to go back to sleep.  Oh well.  It's helped me get ahead of my day.  Dishes done - check, bed made - check, bathroom cleaned - check, menu for next week made - check, 4:00 am thread updated at 4:00 am - bzzzzzzz  I guess I'll put that back on the agenda for tomorrow.  In the mean time, I've got peaches and cream oatmeal and a piece of toast with peach preserves on it, so I guess I'm just peachy today!  :lol:  Going to make a big batch of chili for supper.  It's going to be a full day.  Have to get as much done as possible before the next migraine.

I really want to try some of the recipes you all have posted.  Especially those biscuits you brought up Scowler.  Hubby will flip over them.   :)

You all can keep your coffee, I'll just be sure to bring my own Dr Pepper.  Although, I have to say, is there anything they can't do with coffee?  MLG drinks hers intraveneusly, Scowler does interesting things with *gulp, instant, while Munda does hers extra fancy and Carleen shoots hers full of goodness so it will be for adults.  I never could drink coffee.  Love the smell but hate the taste.  I'll stick with my soda, as bad as it is for you, it tastes a whole lot better than water or coffee.   ;)

If you would, maybe say a little prayer for me that I am able to get to the funeral of my friend on Friday.  It's a 2 1/2 hour drive which would be very miserable with a migraine.  Oota would have to do the driving, and well, let's just say driving isn't her strong suit.  Especially in the new dually.   :eek:  God's will be done.

Hi Carle and Munda :)

don't worry about your preference for your kind of coffee. Each 'is own. There is nothing snobbish about it. But it shows a very interesting difference between us. I am always open to try something new... unless it happens to be disgusting. I certainly would not want to start a competition over whose poverty was more abject. :) But we also had our "fair" share of emulating the "church mouse".

Funny stuff was when I "challenged" some super-coffee lover to see which kind of concoction they preferred, mine, or their own. They found very little difference. Except the price, of course.

Good morning, dearest family!  Better late than never?  (Not sure that expression should be thrown around axiom style)

Scowler, I'll try that coffee method.  Bullet proof style of coffee is somewhat similar in preparation, giving the coffee a 'feeling' of cream, but without.  However, that's due to the fat content.  Bulletproof with a little dark chocolate, cinnamon, touch of raw honey, made with Peruvian coffee... ah, Heaven.

In agreement with the rest of the gang, instant...ugh... but when I was ill last year I discovered an infused coffee that's delicious and instant.  It's packaged in individual servings, so perhaps that preserves the flavor well?  Idk.  This coffee has a nutrition value that my body really craved last year.  Now I'm used to it.

To the mouse syndrome, I'm sure we're in agreement that those experiences are profoundly valuable.  Spouse and I were reflecting back on our 'poor' days recently (no exaggeration), and even then, we were so happy and felt so rich!  God showered us with non monetary abundance.  Deo gratias. 
Oh how we love Thee, Father.

RC, is there any coffee left? 
Dymphna, I sometimes awake at the times I believe you are up.  It's a hassle to turn the wifi back on, or I'd pop into the 4AM thread to give you a hug, but please know this - I think of you when I awake, and send my guardian to greet yours. 

Hugs and kisses, ya'll  :grouphug: :-*

Hey Per,

thanks for including me in the hugs and kisses! For the coffee method, you could compare the real McCoy with my method. I would suggest to offer the two varieties to someone who does not know that you perform an experiment. The good old double-blind experiment still "rulez" :)

Since it is evening time, I guess I will take a sip of a good 18 years old Laphroiag. I received it for my birthday two years ago from my ex-girlfriend ;) Maybe the word "wife" is also usable here... but I like to astonish people by talking about her as my ex-girlfriend. (Pour épater le bourgeois) Hehe.

Did my seems to be monthly gymnastic feat last nite resulting in swollen knees and a magnificent bruise on left upper arm. A very bad nite sleep. Gotta stop these tricks.

Mass is not until 2:00 today. Our pastor could not find a replacement. He had to be elsewhere at that time. So been relaxing and reading. Been sorta couped up due to the snow storm, which seems to be over. Deo Gratias! It's beautiful out though! Fun watching the animals make their way through the snow drifts. About coffeed out here. But there is a fresh pot on, so help yourself.

Wow ... you have snow this long?! I... I thought snow would disappear when winter is gone ... What long-lasting durable snow! (& I hope your dear pastor will be okay ... :pray3:) No thanks to the coffee btw! Ever since I got this acid reflux doctor told me NEVER to drink coffee ever again ... which is actually tragic. I had loved coffee ... (*wails*)

Wow ... you have snow this long?

Servus, we get enough snow at times to keep it for a month at a time! Depends on temp, depends on it being compounded by additional storms. So yes, our snow can stay for 2 months or be gone with a couple rains. Personally, I truly enjoy a big snowstorm. So very white and beautiful. Ice storms are dangerous and impossible to navigate on. But unbelievably beautiful. The trees and all that is coated makes the world look like crystal. It also brings down powerlines, snaps huge trees in half, or they tip over due to the great weight of the ice. Dangerous and beautiful. There are places in our state that have 3x the amount of snow. The weather within our state can vary wildly from place to place!

Good snowy morning to you all!  I liked this image even though we have quite a bit more snow here than in the pic.  We got a foot dumped on us over 4 days.  How much did you get,  Carleen?

Well, today is DH's birthday.  Dear youngest daughter is upset that we won't be going to the cemetery today.  Though I know where his grave is, trompming around in all that snow and trying to dig out the gravestone would be impossible for me.  So I promised her that we would celebrate with an ice cream cake.  She seems happy with that idea.

I don't often get to read much of our forum lately, but I will try to post every now and again.  Alas, with Lent coming I should really think about less internet...  But I pray for you all and hope you will continue to pray for me and my family.  Also for the repose of DH's soul.

I don't often get to read much of our forum lately, but I will try to post every now and again.  Alas, with Lent coming I should really think about less internet...  But I pray for you all and hope you will continue to pray for me and my family.  Also for the repose of DH's soul.

Sweet pic, dear Orate!!! So happy you dropped in! So sorry the weather did not comply with plans to visit graveside of DH. Ice cream helps always, at least temporarily!

We got about the same amount of snow as you did! Yep about 4 snow days. Looks so pretty, but makes feeding animals a chore. Sheep will be dropping lambs soon. Glad we got the pregnant ewes penned a week ago.

I hope you and your family are well. And yes, lent begins soon, so I too should be thinking about less internet, more reading and sacrifice. Poor God, He has a lot of work to do with this serial sinner! God bless. Looking forward to you dropping in and saying hello!

Of course, Orate!  I hope you don't mind, but the 2nd Joyful mystery said for you and your family.  If you would prefer a different one, one closer to you and your family let me know.  You are a special lady and therefore deserve special treats.  :)

Hey, my dear SD forum. Last nite choir buffet was splendid! These guys are great cooks as well as great singers! Last nite they had to look up the use of alcohol during lent. Their source was a balm to all. No alcohol does NOT break the lent end fast! So, for all who have wondered about this....carry on!

Yahoo! It's Sunday! Mass, potluck! Sundays during Lent are so fun! I love them and I love saying my glorious mysteries on this day. All Lent I look forward to the Gloria bells on Easter morning. They never fail to raise the hair on my arms.

Good morning, all. See you tonight. Busy day. My job to coordinate and set up /take down for our potlucks. Won't be home until 4:30 or 5. I'm sure ya'll were wondering whats Carleen doing this fine day! Another sweet thing about potluck Sunday is that being a group that comes from a large radius, it gives great opportunity for conversation and for the littles to run amok! Oh I do love Munda's term "the littles"! At least one of them gets hurt every potluck and most get in trouble, but all in all, great fun!

I do wonder what Carleen is doing today.  And I wonder what Servus, MLG, Munda, Miriam, PerE, Non, and all my SD family is up to today and every day.  And I have to throw a prayer up every now and then for them.  Just to thank God for them, if nothing else.  ;)   8)  Happy late Sunday, y'all! 

Oh, and I love Munda's term "the littles" too!  I've started mixing it in with "munchkins" which is what I've been using.  :)

Good Morning! Been up a while but our morning meeting lasted a bit longer than usual.. :) Some how, after 40 years we still yak up a storm. Hubby gets up early. He wakes me up every morning at 8, whether I like it or not. In the end, I can't get irritated. He has my coffee made and toast in. Then he moves from the best spot in the house so I can have it. Really how annoying is that? Not at all.

It's all part of that "work" that makes it last a lifetime.  God bless him!  God bless you both!  I'm so glad you had a good morning.  And good morning (said with 8 minutes to spare  :lol:  ) to all of us strugglers.  I haven't taken a struggle bus ride in ages.  We'll have to get on that soon, Carleen.  :)

Dear Dymph, we've never truly gotten off the "bus", have we? We don't always go places and see things, but it seems to be our ONLY mode of transportation. To get where we need to go, the struggle bus is completely reliable, completely uncomfotable, never makes a wrong turn, never lacks seating, needs no gps because it only goes one way. Bumpy and narrow roads just add a bit of bounce to the trip. HS, our beloved transportation director, is awe inspiring and knows us better than we know ourselves. His lovely Bride supplies our nourishment and her Son settles both mortal and venial wrondoing, inevitable unfortunately with so many passengers, children, teenagers, oldsters.....you know. Best part is our Beloved Physician looking after all of us, so no emergency stops.

Never lost a single passenger. Had a few unhappy campers who find their way off, but since HS NEVER shuts the door, after a time these unhappy campers make their way back to us and after a complete check up by our Beloved Physician, a bit of coddling from his own dear mother, they once again settle in for the journey. It's a bit humiliating for them that shortly after their return the bus needs to be fumigated and bug bombed because of the cling ons. They rarely properly dust off before getting back on! Its funny, we are so happy upon their return we hardly notice!  :)

Family & I trooped out of home in the wee hours of morning & we only came back around 6.30pm-ish in the evening ... Was so drained out by the whole trip that I crashed onto couch & slept all way - & now I got my batteries charged  I'm all energized to conquer the day the night ahead!!

She ordered some blood + pee tests  (which thankfully turned out normal), gave me a drip, injected some medication & got nurses to serve anti-heartburn meds for me to drink& take home. Felt alot better after everything, but will still have to observe at home for the next few days & see how things go. :)

There have been a few winters I could have said that. But those are the exception. That being said....having grown up near the mackinaw bridge, I know a harsh winter. The winters in southern MI are nothing like the winters up north. I do like the beauty of winter, but down here, near Ohio, winter is more an inconvenience than a beautiful display, such as northern mi.

Good morning All!  You wouldn't want any snowballs from down here, MLG!  We've got more ice than snow.  And more on the way tonight into tomorrow.  It's looking kind of weird outside.  You know how it is when you've got sunlight coming through some hazy clouds as if the clouds don't know whether to go away or just sit there and rain.  Weird.  The stores are going to be jammed!  Poor Hubby.  I've got meds at 3 different stores.  Oh well.  That's what happens when you sell my car and leave me stranded, I guess.  :)

Enjoy your Grandbaby time Carleen.  They are off and running before you know it.  I'll bet she loves watching the lambs leaping about. So maybe they will still be with you around the time of the wedding?  Wouldn't that be fun!  Having DD there then would be great too.

Good morning. Just finished up some baby time with Lidya. She's got her tongue moving all the time. I think she will be getting some teeth soon. Looks like she is rubbing her gums with her tongue. She has a cold  :( poor thing. So does mama. I'll probably catchmit, but it's worth it to me. Can't pass up holding, kissing and loving on her just because of a virus!

Snow already melting.

Spent the morning with Lidya. So mom could catch a few winks. The stinker got up at 4 all ready to play. Ugh. So dad brought her in around eight and she was very happy playing until about 10. Then it was time to go home to the little house and nurse herself back to sleep. They will be gone for the weekend. Need to box up some more stuff. Between our 2 barns, we have enough room to store their stuff. Builder son has rooms claimed for storing lumber, drywall, large implements related to his trade. Amazing amount of wood! Lots of cleaned up old wood, metal for roofing, etc. Still could move a few households of boxes furniture to store.



Hey...Good morning to all!

My daughter is a rotten speller. I'm sure that's why her name is spelled Lidya and not Lydia!

I miss our daily conversations about such important things as this!

Been lurking mostly since DH died but one cannot help but feel hopeful on such a bright, beautiful day as we are having here.

Please pray for the repose of the soul of my sister's DH who died on March 4th.  He returned to the Faith a few years ago and died with all the Church has to offer  Deo gratias!

Now just pray for my Dear Sister who for some reason, just can't seem to make the leap back to the Faith.  She is a solid Catholic in a Protestant Church.  She is my Confirmation sponsor.  So we are related spiritually as well.  She needs our prayers to get past her fears.

Good morning, Orate. 9x out of 10 they can't come back because their understanding of Church teaching is a mess. They do not have the conviction knowledge brings with it. I wonder....would she be open to see all her issues with the church addressed, in topical form. The book Catholicism and Fundamentalism, by Karl Keating...best work he has ever done, is very well layed out and easy to understand. My father has difficulty reading, but that book opened his eyes and gave him so much info he never had. He has never left the church, but he also never really understood it's teaching. He loved it. Poor sister  :'( :pray3: RIP to dear BIL.

Hi Carleen,  I sent her the book, very shortly after he wrote it years ago.  Her problem is not with doctrine or even the sacraments.  She knows the Faith.  The only thing that I could get her to tell me as to why she is unable to make the leap is Pope Francis and his reported views on the family and sexuality. 

Just pray that God gives me the grace when I talk to her to help her see that there have always been weak Popes, but that this does not negate the truth of the Faith.  Also pray that God put others in her path that can help her back to the Faith.

My dear Orate....another sweet good morning from you. Here you are...helping this old war horse out, keeping a cheerful thread alive, and you are, like me, grieving the loss of a loved one. A husband and companion. I can only see that as being much harder than loss of a sibling. Brings new meaning to my 40 year old commitment...til death do us part. My hubby, a regular Rollercoaster of fun times and not so fun times, is my daily habit. My greatest companion. My head knows the only forever we will have is in the next life, but my head lags a little behind. This life is all I know. He is my balast. Keeping me, through sacramental grace, on the right path, with the right attitude. If  anything happens to this man, before me, I want to handle it like you, Orate. With resignation, and keeping on track with the help of Our Dear Lord. God bless you.

GOOD MORNING ALL!!!

Oh, sweet Carleen!  Me thinks you have an overly rosy view of my resignation and goodness.  I fear that I loved, not enough, the good man who has taken care of me for most of the years of his life and even in death.  I think it was his manly resignation to God's Will with all of the humiliations that came with it that gave me the strength to carry on.  Deo Gratias.  Our Lord gives us the Grace of state to help each other "Together to heaven!"

GOOD MORNING, ALL! Feeling good today. Got to confession, and am ever so grateful. Finally got to confess my evening spent with Smirnoff, while up north. Sister brother and I made fools of ourselves. Not like anyone saw, just God. Laughed until one am, and paid for it dearly the next day. Just so much stress and pain, when we were relieved by siblings, from Tom's bedside, we went back to sisters home and it all started out so innocent. Well of course, a drink to settle the nerves so we could sleep. Well the orange juice was sooo refreshing and smirnoff, well he mixed so well with the oj. Anyway, one led to another, until we were laughing uproariously. No one got sick or hurt themselves, but it pained my soul more than my head and stomach the next day. Then so much to take care of, I had no chance to confess until yesterday.So, for now, I'm good. God preserved me from an unexpected death until I could get to a priest. What gambles we take. Or I should say....I take. God is so gracious to allow me to get things taken care of. Bad me. Good God.

So it's Palm Sunday! Sun shining, a lovely day for a procession! Thanks be to God, our diocesan priest loves our TLM, loves chant, loves the aspereges, loves the incense, loves polyphony, loves a grand procession. His best homily was on CONTRACEPTION and how it violates the sacrament of marriage and life. He could slip in, unnoticed, among FSSP, or almost any trad group. But, he's not all the way there yet. So we pray for him. We do believe he is sincere, but he is still diocesan. Just prayin he falls on the T side of the fence, when push comes to shove. God help these poor good priests.

Thank you Orate. May HE  help me clean my little temple here inside me. It's such a messy place, with things going on very improper for  His needs. No better than the money changers, but certainly desire to be more pleasing and useful to my KING. If He is my King, which of course is how I see Him, then I must polish His throne, so He does not have to be in poverty. Yep, glad it is never to late to redecorate my temple.

MEDITATION
for Holy Monday

Jesus is placed on the Cross

I.



No sooner had the Redeemer arrived, all suffering and wearied out, at Calvary, than they strip Him of His clothes, - that now stick to His wounded flesh, - and then cast Him down upon the cross. Jesus stretches forth His holy hands, and at the same time offers His life to the Eternal Father, and prays of Him to accept it for the salvation of mankind. In the nest place, the executioners savagely lay hold of the nails and hammers, and, nailing His hands and His feet, they fasten Him to the cross.

O ye Sacred Hands, which by a mere touch have so often healed the sick, wherefore are they now nailing you upon the cross? O Holy Feet, which have encountered so much fatigue in your search after us lost sheep, wherefore do they now transfix you with so much pain? When a nerve is wounded in the human body, so great is the suffering, that it occasions convulsions and fits of fainting: what, then, must not the suffering of Jesus have been, in having nails driven through His hands and feet, parts which are most full of nerves and muscles!

O my sweet Saviour! So much did the desire of seeing me saved and of gaining my love cost Thee! And I have so often ungratefully despised Thy love for nothing; but now I prize it above every good.

II.

The Cross is now raised up together with the Crucified, and they let it fall down with a shock into the hole that had been made for it in the rock. It is then made firm by stones and pieces of wood; and Jesus remains hanging upon it, to leave His life thereon. The afflicted Saviour, now about to die upon that bed of pain, and finding Himself in such desolation and misery, seeks for someone to console Him, but finds none.

Surely, my Lord, those men will at least compassionate Thee, now that Thou are dying! But no; I hear some outraging Thee, some ridiculing Thee, and others blaspheming Thee, saying to Thee, "Come down from the cross if Thou art the Son of God. He has saved others, and now He cannot save Himself."

Alas, you barbarians, He is now about to die, according as you desire; at least torment Him not with your reviling.

III.

See how much thy dying Redeemer is suffering upon that gibbet! Each member suffers its own pain, and the one cannot come to the help of the other. Alas, how does He experience in every moment the pains of death! Well may it be said that in those three hours during which Jesus was suffering His agony upon the cross, He suffered as many deaths as were the moments that He remained there. He find not there even the slightest relief or repose, whether He lean His weight upon His hands or upon His feet; wheresoever He leans the pain is increased, His most holy body hanging suspended, as it does, from His very wounds themselves. Go, my soul, and tenderly draw nigh to theat cross, and kiss that altar, whereon thy Lord is dying a victim of love for thee. Place thyself beneath His feet, and let that Divine Blood trickle down upon thee.

Yes, my dear Jesus, let this Blood wash me from all my sins, and set me all on fire with love towards Thee, my God, Who hast been willing to die for love of me. Do thou, O suffering Mother, who dost stand at the foot of the cross, pray to Jesus for me.

MEDITATION
for Holy Tuesday

Jesus upon the Cross

I.


Jesus on the cross! Behold the proof of the love of a God; behold the final manifestation of Himself, which the Word Incarnate makes upon this earth, - a manifestation of suffering indeed, but, still more, a manifestation of love. St. Francis of Paola, as he was one day mediating upon the Divine Love in the person of Jesus Crucified, rapt in ecstasy, exclaimed aloud three times, in these words, "O God – Love! O God- Love! O God - Love!" wishing hereby to signify that we shall never be able to comprehend how great has been the Divine love towards us, in willing to die for love of us.

II.

O my beloved Jesus! If I behold Thy body upon this cross, nothing do I see but wounds and blood; and, then, if I turn my attention to Thy heart, I find it to be all afflicted and in sorrow. Upon this cross I see it written that Thou art a king; but what tokens of majesty dost Thou retain? I see not any royal throne save this tree of infamy; no other purple do I behold save Thy wounded and bloody flesh; no other crown save this band of thorns that tortures Thee. Ah, how it all declares Thee to be king of love! Yes, for this cross, these nails, this crown and these wounds are, all of them, tokens of love.

III.

Jesus, from the cross, asks us not so much for our compassion as for our love; and, if even He does ask our compassion, He asks it solely in order that the compassion may move us to love Him. As being infinite goodness, He already merits all our love; but when placed upon the cross, it seems as if He sought for us to love Him, at least out of compassion.

Ah, my Jesus, and who is there that will not love Thee, while confessing Thee to be the God that Thou art, and contemplating Thee upon the cross? Oh, what arrows of fire dost Thou not dart at souls from that throne of love! Oh, how many hearts hast Thou not drawn to Thyself from that cross of Thine! O wounds of my Jesus! O beautiful furnaces of love! Admit me, too, amongst yourselves to burn, not indeed with that fire of hell which I have deserved, but with holy flames of love for that God Who has been willing to die for me, consumed by torments. O my dear Redeemer! Receive back a sinner, who, sorrowing for having offended Thee, is now earnestly longing to love Thee. I love Thee, I love Thee, O infinite goodness, O infinite love.

O Mary, Mother of beautiful love! Obtain for me a greater measure of love, to consume me for that God Who has died consumed for love of me.

MEDITATION
for Holy (Spy) Wednesday

The Words spoken by Jesus upon the Cross

I.

While Jesus upon the cross is being outraged by that barbarous populace, what is it that He is doing? He is praying for them, and saying, O My Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. O Eternal Father, hearken to this Thy Beloved Son, Who, in dying, prays Thee to forgive me too, who have outraged Thee so much. Then Jesus, turning to the good thief, who prays Him to have mercy upon him, replies: Today shalt thou be with Me in paradise. Oh, how true is that which the Lord spake by the mouth of Ezekiel, that when a sinner repents of his faults, He, as it were, blots out from His memory, all the offences of which he has been guilty: But if the wicked do penance...I will not remember all his iniquities.

O would that it were true, my Jesus, that I had never offended Thee! But, since the evil is done, remember no more, I pray Thee, the displeasures that I have given Thee; and, by that bitter death which Thou hast suffered for me, take me to Thy Kingdom after my death; and, while I live, let Thy love reign within my soul.

II.

Jesus, in His agony upon the cross, with every part of His body full of torture, and deluged with affliction in His soul, seeks for someone to console Him. He looks toward Mary; but that sorrowing Mother only adds by her grief to His affliction. He casts His eyes around Him and there is no one that gives Him comfort. He asks His Father for consolation; but the Father, beholding Him covered with all the sins of men, even He too abandons Him; and then it was that Jesus cried out with a loud voice: Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me? My God, My God, why has Thou also abandoned Me? This abandonment by the Eternal Father caused the death of Jesus Christ to be more bitter than any that has ever fallen the lot of either penitent or martyr; for it was a death of perfect desolation, and bereft of every kind of relief.

O my Jesus! How is it that I have been able to live so long a time in forgetfulness of Thee? I return Thee thanks that Thou has not been unmindful of me. Oh, I pray Thee ever to keep me in mind of the bitter death which Thou has embraced for love of me, that so I may never be unmindful of the love which Thou hast borne me!

III.

Jesus then, knowing that His sacrifice was now completed, said that He was thirsty: He said, I thirst. And the executioners then reached up to His mouth a sponge, filled with vinegar and gall.

But, Lord, how is it that Thou does make no complaint of those many pains which are taking away Thy life, but complainst only of thirst?

Ah, I understand Thee, my Jesus; Thy thirst is a thirst of love; because Thou lovest us, Thou dost desire to be beloved by us. Oh, help me to drive away from my heart all affection which are not for Thee; make me to love none other but Thee, and to have no other desire save that of doing Thy will.

MEDITATION
for Holy Thursday

Jesus dies upon the Cross

I.

Behold how the loving Saviour is now drawing nigh unto death. Behold, O my soul, those beautiful eyes growing dim, that face become all pallid, that heart all but ceasing to beat, and that sacred body now disposing itself to the final surrender of its life.

After Jesus had received the vinegar, He said: It is consummated. He then passed over in review before His eyes all the sufferings that He had undergone during His life, in the shape of poverty, contempt and pain; and then offering them all up to the Eternal Father, He turned to Him and said, It is finished. My Father, behold by the sacrifice of my death, the work of the world's redemption, which Thou hast laid upon me, is now completed. And it seems as though, turning Himself again to us, He repeated, It is finished; as if He would have said, O men, O men, love me, for I have done all; there is nothing more that I can do in order to gain your love.

II.

Behold now, lastly, Jesus dies. Come, ye angels of heaven, come and assist at the death of your King. And thou, O sorrowing Mother Mary, do thou draw nearer to the cross, and fix thine eyes yet more attentively on thy Son, for He is now on the point of death. Behold Him, after having commended His spirit to His Eternal Father, He calls upon death, giving it permission to come to take away His life. Come, O death, says He to it, be quick and perform thine office; slay Me, and save my flock. The earth now trembles, the graves open, the veil of the temple is rent in twain. The strength of the dying Saviour is failing through the violence of the sufferings; the warmth of His body is gradually diminishing; He gives up His body to death: He bows His head down upon His breast, He opens His mouth and dies: And bowing His head, He gave up the ghost. The people behold Him expire, and observing that he no longer moves, they say, He is dead, He is dead; and to them the voice of Mary makes echo, while she too says, "Ah, my Son, Thou art, then dead."

III.

He is dead! O God! Who is it that is dead? The author of life, the only-begotten Son of God, the Lord of the world, - He is dead. O death! Thou wert the amazement of heaven and of all nature. O infinite love! A God to sacrifice His blood and His life! And for whom? For His ungrateful creatures; dying in an ocean of sufferings and shame, in order to pay the penalty due to their sins. Ah infinite goodness! O infinite love!

O my Jesus! Thou art, then, dead, on account of the love which Thou has borne me! Oh, let me never again live, even for a single moment, without loving Thee! I love Thee, my chief and only good; I love Thee, My Jesus, - dead for me! O my sorrowing Mother Mary, do thou help a servant of thine, who desires to love Jesus.

I'm so sorry you have to suffer with this.  Fibromyalgia is in it's own class of pain from what I understand.  My Mom and my Sister both had to deal with it.  You have my prayers that it will lift soon so you can get to Mass and have a wonderful and holy Easter.   :pray3:

I was diagnosed with fibro back when I was about 33. Went through some very hellish times. Nothing made sense until i found out it wwas an actual condition causing my body to break down. Had a few remissions, but have spent much more time full blown, than in remission. I have crawled hand and knees to the bathroom because heel cords were so inflamed. That was back when I could kneel! Now I just put it all in the same mental basket. RA, Fibro, Trigeminal. Can't wait to get my glorified body. Right now, my body is anything but glorious!!!! Orate, I know how you are feeling. I sure hope you got to Mass. I did not. God forgive me, as He will you, Orate. Submitting to our present sufferings, missing holy days, family goings on, that all comes with our cross.If you are like me you probably have a whole list of ailments you rarely give voice to. Does no good anyway. So, for every decent day I have, I am ever so grateful. For the bad days...well...I am also grateful to have some ting to offer up. The only thing that bothers me deeply is not suffering well. I figure to suffer well is the least I can do. And sometimes the most I can do. God bless you, Orate.  :grouphug:

You pretty much are describing me, as well, in your post.  No, I did not make it to Mass.  I took a nap so as to be more alert for Mass in the evening and I woke up 2 minutes before start time.  Knew it would be almost over by the time I got there.  So I crawled right back into bed.  I will be going to Good Friday Services, Lord willing.

MEDITATION
for Good Friday

Jesus hanging Dead upon the Cross

I.

Raise up thine eyes, my soul, and behold that crucified man. Behold the Divine Lamb now sacrificed upon that altar of pain. Consider that He is the Beloved Son of the Eternal Father; and consider that He is dead for the love that He has borne thee. See how He holds His arms outstretched to embrace thee; His head bent down to give the kiss of peace; His side open to receive thee into His heart. What dost thou say? Does not a God so loving deserve to be loved? Listen to the words He addresses to thee from that cross: "Look, my son, and see whether there be any one in the world who has loved thee more than I have."

No, my God, there is none that has loved me more than Thou. But what return shall I ever be able to make to a God Who has been willing to die for me? What love from a creature will ever be able to recompense the love of his Creator, Who died to gain his love?

II.

O God! Had the vilest one of mankind suffered for me what Jesus Christ has suffered, could I ever refrain from loving him? Were I to see any man torn to pieces with scourges and fastened to a cross in order to save my life, could I ever bear it in mind without feeling a tender emotion of love? And were there to be brought to me the portrait of him, as he lay dead upon the cross, could I behold it with an eye of indifference, when I considered: "This man is dead, tortured thus, for love of me. Had he not loved me, he would not so have died."

Ah, my Redeemer, O love of my soul! How shall I ever be able to forget Thee? How shall I ever be able to think that my sins have reduced Thee so low, and not always bewail the wrongs that I have done to Thy goodness? How shall I ever be able to see Thee dead of pain on this cross for love of me, and not love Thee to the uttermost of my power?

III.

O my dear Redeemer! Well do I recognize in these Thy wounds, and in Thy lacerated body, as it were through so many lattices, the tender affection which Thou does retain for me. Since, then, in order to pardon me, Thou has not pardoned Thyself, oh, look upon me now with the same love wherewith Thou didst one day look upon me from the cross, whilst Thou wert dying for me.

Look upon me and enlighten me, and draw my whole heart to Thyself, that so, from this day forth, I may love none else but Thee. Let me not ever be unmindful of Thy death. Thou didst promise that, when raised up upon the cross, Thou wouldst draw all our hearts to Thee. Behold this heart of mine, which, made tender by Thy death, and enamored of Thee, desires to offer no further resistance to Thy calls. Oh, do Thou draw it to Thyself, and make it all Thine own! Thou hast died for me, and I desire to die for Thee; and if I continue to live, I will live for Thee alone.

O pains of Jesus, O ignominies of Jesus, O death of Jesus, O love of Jesus! Fix yourselves within my heart, and let the remembrance of you abide there always, to be continually smiting me, and inflaming me with love.

I love Thee, O infinite goodness; I love Thee, O infinite love. Thou art and shalt ever be, my one and only love.

O Mary, Mother of love, do thou obtain me love.

MEDITATION
for Holy Saturday

Mary Present on Calvary at the Death of Jesus

I.

There stood by the cross of Jesus His Mother. We observe in this the Queen of Martyrs, a sort of martyrdom more cruel than any other martyrdom, - that of a mother so placed as to behold an innocent Son executed upon a gibbet of infamy: "she stood." Ever since Jesus was apprehended in the garden, He has been abandoned by His disciples; but Mary abandons Him not. She stays with Him till she sees Him expire before her eyes: "she stood close by."

Mothers, in general, flee away from the presence of their sons when they see them suffer, and cannot render them any assistance; content enough would they be themselves to endure their sons' sufferings; and, therefore, when they see them suffering without the power of succoring them, they have not the strength to endure so great a pain, and consequently flee away, and go to a distance. Not so Mary. She sees her Son in torments; she see that the pains are taking His life away; but she flees not, nor moves to a distance. On the contrary, she draws near to the cross whereon her Son is dying.

O sorrowing Mary! Disdain me not for a companion to assist at the death of thy Jesus and mine.

II.

She stood near the cross. The cross, then, is the bed whereon Jesus leaves His life; a bed of suffering, where this afflicted Mother is watching Jesus, all wounded as He is with scourges and with thorns. Mary observes how this her poor Son, suspended from those three iron nails, finds neither a position nor repose. She would wish to give Him some relief; she would wish, at least, since He has to die, to have Him die in her arms. But nothing of all this is allowed her.

Ah, cross! She says, give me back my Son! Thou art a malefactor's gibbet; whereas my Son is innocent.

But grieve not thyself, O Mother. It is the will of the Eternal Father that the cross should not give Jesus back to thee until after He has died and breathed His last. O Queen of Sorrows! Obtain for me sorrow for my sins.

III.

There stood by the cross His Mother. Meditate, my soul, upon Mary, as she stands at the foot of the cross watching her Son. Her Son! But, O God, what a Son! A Son Who was, at one and the same time, her Son and her God! A son Who had from all eternity chosen her to be His Mother, and had given her a preference in His love before all mankind and all the angels! A Son so beautiful, so holy, and so lovely; A Son Who had been ever obedient unto her; a Son Who was her one and only love, being as He was both her Son and God. And this Mother had to see such a Son die of pain before her very eyes!

O Mary, O Mother, most afflicted of all mothers! I compassionate thy heart, more especially when thou didst behold Jesus surrender Himself up upon the cross, open His mouth , and expire; and, for love of this thy Son, now dead for my salvation, do thou recommend unto Him my soul.

And do Thou, my Jesus, for the sake of the merits of Mary's sorrows, have mercy upon me, and grant me the grace of dying for Thee, as Thou hast died for me: "May I die, O my Lord" (will I say unto Thee, with St. Francis of Assisi), "for love of the love of Thee, Who hast vouchsafed to die for love of the love of me."

Thank you for posting these orate.  They have been a wonderful way to start the day this week.

QuoteMothers, in general, flee away from the presence of their sons when they see them suffer, and cannot render them any assistance; content enough would they be themselves to endure their sons' sufferings; and, therefore, when they see them suffering without the power of succoring them, they have not the strength to endure so great a pain, and consequently flee away, and go to a distance.

Is this accurate?  I would think that a Mother would want to give moral support, if nothing else, by being present at her son's sufferings.  Fleeing because they can't render aid in a way they deem acceptable doesn't make sense to me.  What if half way through the trial, God were to allow them to help their Sons and they couldn't be found because they had to flee?  I don't know, this just seems a little weird.   :shrug:

eta:  Good Holy Saturday morning all!  :)

Just saw this now as preparing to go to Easter Vigil.  I suppose one must consider the times that St. Alphonsus was from when he wrote it.

However, even today, a mother suffers twentyfold when her child is hurting, especially if there is nothing she can do to prevent the pain for her child.  If I polled all the mothers out there, I'm sure almost all would say that they would rather suffer the pain themselves, than watch a child suffer.  If you really want to hurt a mother, hurt her child.

Rainy Tuesday morning here, and I'm definitely feelin' it.  Blah! 

Carleen, dear oldest daughter hosted myself and the youngest two on Easter, so I neither had to cook nor clean up afterward.  That is why I was able to attend Easter Vigil the night before.  Hadn't been to Easter Vigil in several years and it was glorious!

DS #1 had to work Easter Sunday,  DD #2 is in Texas, DS #2 had to remain in Michigan.  So it was pretty quiet, but extremely enjoyable at DD #1's house.

Good morning, dear fellow ladies!  Great to know the sun is shining on the other side of the globe! :D

Just in case anyone's wondering: I've just finished up Day 2 of voluntary work at the Japanese fair... Tired as usual & made some big mishaps with a few customers while dressing them in yukata, but thankfully the Japanese mentors were very forgiving towards this lowly volunteer of theirs. Felt sad for those whom I cannot appease as it's my mission + duty to serve everyone with holistic excellence (aka give the very best service-with-a-smile ever), but then I realize that I am ultimately human & can mess up every once in the while. It was a humbling yet fun experience that I ever had in life.... & I'm proud to report that I have worn yukata for 3 days straight. Hooray. ^-^

I just want the sacraments that will strengthen me during this long arduous journey. Getting a bit tired here, fighting, waning, fighting, waning, fighting some more.

Forgot to say: ALWAYS a pleasure to hear from you, Per!

Yes, happy Thursday to you sweet Orate! You pics are fun. Me thinks, just maybe, Orate is fun, too! Someday we will meet up, even if it is the big meet up in the sky! I wonder if we will recognize each other....

We ain't out of the woods just yet... under a Tornado Watch and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 9:00 pm.  Normally I wouldn't be too concerned with as windy as it has been yesterday and this morning, but it's been over 60 degrees all night and then up to over 80 today and the wind just stopped about half an hour ago.  We were talking about 45 mph wind gusts.  Clouds have just moved in and I can't tell from here how high they are, but I'd almost bet they are tall enough to make a little hail.  This is all happening because we are going to get ice/snow tomorrow.  So when you go from 84! to 34! within a 24 hour period, well, that energy has to go somewhere!  Let the thunder and lightening commence!  But keep the spinning clouds up there, if You wouldn't mind, God.  Time to top off the fish tanks and fill the tub.  New batteries in the flashlights, CERT bag ready to go,  go bags ready, oil lamps set, radio and scanner ready.  I have a feeling we'll be testing the new fridge tonight.  Hopefully not for long.  Praying this is all for naught.   :pray3: 8)

Amen Orate! By the grace of God....may I seek only Him. I ask quite often for more Faith. I am not without it, but I get harassed  by the evil one, too often. With deeper Faith, his torments may just run off me like water on a duck. Sometimes I mistakenly believe I'm stronger than I am.  :(  finding my falls even more disgraceful. Well of course all sin is bad, but I can have a tendency to believe myself to be a pretty bad person. In light of the saints, I am, truthfully. But in my state of life, I can only hope to improve. So stinking many temptations, more subtle ones, the kind everyone may not see, but deadly for me.

I would say that this shows you do have a deeper Faith.  The evil one harasses only those who don't yet belong to him.  He only irritates those who do.  And you have tuned into the more subtle temptations.  That is a gift as well.  So, hang in there, my friend!  You are on the right path!  :)   Oh, and good morning all!  Dang, I missed morning by 42 minutes.   :-[  Good afternoon everyone!

Carleen,  I was going to say this exact thing.  It seems to me that the stronger one is in the Faith the more the devil tempts us to get us to belong to him.  When I am beset by temptations, I actually find it a consolation to know that  it means I belong to God and not to the devil.  Until I fall, of course....then its off to the confessional I go.

Coffee and sports pants here. I sleep in my sports pants. I can wake up and run into the post office and not even have to change. No one knows because they don't wrinkle. They are baggy but still manage to look tidy. Love em! There's a lot to be said for the freedom of wardrobe that happens after 50!

The only time I want to stab people is when speaking to customer service coming out of India. For the most part they are fairly good at their job, but the desire to kill comes in when I get someone who has such a thick accent that I can't understand them and have to ask them to speak slowly and repeat EVERYTHING! Poor things, just trying to make a buck.

Good one, Orate!! And good morning to you.

oh Indians ... their accents can clash with Americans & Asians, yet they are the valuable people at the other end of the phone every time I call up technical support for Internet issues. I cannot agree more of how their accents can be heavily bad to the point no one can figure out what they're saying, but the right way to deal with them is not to stab them, but to listen to them with perseverance & patience.  :pray3:

Yep. P&P. Something I could use more of. Though I am never rude, when asking for help. But when tech support contacts me, though I may not be rude, I do tell them no, I don't need support, but I could use some help getting the sheeps head out of my fence, or ask them how they make their pilaf, or felafals.  ;)

If it's too bad, just ask to speak to someone else.  Sometimes you have to go through 2 or 3 which may have to include their supervisor.  If I end up with a supervisor I always explain that it is not that anything was done wrong, I just couldn't understand them.  That way no one gets into trouble.  Maybe sent to American Accent classes again.  I often wonder if I were to call them, trying to speak Indian or whatever it is that they speak, would they get annoyed with my accent.  I don't have an accent, but maybe if I was trying to speak Indian, I would.   :shrug:

Woke up this morning and the water wouldn't go on to wash my hands (fortunately there was enough water to flush the toilet once). On my front door was a notice about the emergency shut off (surprise!); one condo unit in the building loses water and the  whole building does.  So no shower today and I feel yucky. I hate it when this happens.

Maybe the worst thing was that I couldn't make a pot of coffee. The "big news" is that I finally bought a coffee maker and am making "real" coffee and not instant.  It is better, isn't it?  :) It's just a 4 cup (5 oz) maker, enough for 2 reasonable size mugs, but that OUGHT to be enough for me!

---
I'm not as good as understanding people with other accents as I wish I were.  I have problems with customer service people too.  Or job recruiters (when I was looking for a job), who also are often Indian (at least in my field).

Maybe I am rude on the phone... even with pro-life groups I tend to hurriedly say "I really support you, but honestly don't have time right now! God bless you!"... and then hang up.  I figure further talk would not be to their benefit anyway. But although I'd like to think I'm just being frank, maybe I am being rude.

Most likely you are NOT being rude, Non. If what you say is not generally offensive you're not being rude.  We owe no one our time except those we agree to spend time with. Spontaneous calls do not qualify as those we OWE  our time to. It irritates me when call center employees do not remember the name of who they have just called. You can tell, with their pause while they go back to consult their list. They are not calling ME. They are calling whoever is next on their list. I owe them nothing, but courtesy. Which I give, but not a large ration. I figure the quicker I respond in the negative, the quicker they can get on to their next call.   :lol:

Orate, I know that headache...yuk is right. But guess what? I have one daughter that is excellent at wading through financial aid, veterans administration paperwork for benefits for students of disabled vets, every thing associated with finance and classes. Want student aide? Go to Katie. I was never good at this stuff, but give her a mile long list of BS, due tomorrow,, and she'll have it all sorted out and everyhing sent in on time. She had no idea she was good at that stuff until she herself had to do it for herself. She surprised herself. It's a gift I guess. They should hold classes teaching how to wade through redtape. Good luck to you and kids.

Good morning everyone! I'm up I'm breathing I live. How about you?

Orate, I am NOT good at anything but paying bills. I'll get the bills paid. That's about as complicated as I do. I have handled all the bills for the last 22 years. At least I have a good grasp on what needs to be paid and when. Can't remember last time I paid a late fee. Oh, yes, after stroke, I wasn't home to get things paid. Then too scrambled in the head to do anything but work on putting one foot in front of the other. Then, a month later I was right back paying all the bills and managing the money going out. I don't tell hubby how to spend, I just make sure I have enough to pay my bills. Then, he can do what he wants. He started doing the shopping after my aneurysm. I love that he does, but he can hardly go to the store without spending 100 dollars. He has great respect now for my restraint when I did do the shopping. I rarely indulged cravings while shopping. When hubby started shopping the things he would bring into the house, special coffees, special wines, special shaving stuff, vitamins, bandages, lol. I would stick to ordinary stuff.

Oh, do it Dymphna! My husband spent an hour with a great guy, on the phone, at social security, and this guy set EVERYTHING up for us. He even told us about extra we could get because we had a 14 year old at the time. But disability is much harder to get, so you can help with that. It gets somewhat tedious and takes a long while to get a decision. Your support will be essential to his follow through. Good girl!

Gonna have to kick in because at this rate I may not get dinner made tonight! How you get way more done than it looks like I will. Morning is half gone!

Good morning! The SON is shining especially bright today. Got a lovely cuppa and getting ready to go to the most beautiful thing this side of heaven! Then....potluck....then.....beertasting/rating party at MY house. Son will definitely be there, but seriously very weak still. Please, the man has to work his business and has little to no energy. Still coughing.

Good Morning! It's just beautiful out. Got my cuppa and still lazing around. When I had kids there was no lazing allowed, by ten I was putting babies back down for morning naps. had my laundry in, breakfast served, dishes done, morning lessons begun. Or we just played. We did a lot of playing. Live on a farm more years than not. Those kids could get lost in our own barn and even I could forget to call them in.

Good one, Orate. Lol!

And YES! Those WERE the days, which may not be appreciated until well after the fact. Never really had time to think about my productivity. Need dictated. I was happy, though exhausted.

I feel sorry for all the women that will never know this, especially those, through no fault of their own were denied this. Many desired to pour themselves out for children. What I find is that THOSE women give in so many other ways, go far out of their way to lend a hand to children in need, help harried young mothers, contribute in countless ways to families not their own. God denies actual pregnancy, child birth, parenthood, yet they too pour themselves out for those very things. A blessing for others. To not recieve personally, does not mean you can't GIVE. I've know many who do, and may God bless them for it!

Morning all. Been discussing culling the flock. Too many sheep, too little property. Winter hay needs are a 6 dollar bale a day. Adds up. And since we are just hobby farmers, we've no need for more than we can eat! They are great contributors to my garden soil, though.

Church is having a rummage sale, so DD#1 is coming over to help me go through late DH's clothes to donate.  Hope this is the beginning of Spring cleaning for me.  Since it's a beautiful day, after that we are taking a trip out to the cemetery to pray for Dear late daughter-in-law and late Hubbie.  Also to check out that they put the right death date on the gravestone.  It's always a blessing when I can spend time with my lovely DD#1!

Good morning, Ladies!  The sun is shining and it feels like Spring has sprung.  They are predicting severe storms later this week so I've got to go through our storm supplies to make sure we are ready.  Been kind of lazy about that since it's been so long since anything has happened.  That's when it will turn around and bite you though.  Hubby is going to get the dune buggy out again today.  He had it out yesterday and found a swarm of kids at a birthday party, to give rides to.  So another fun day on tap.   :seeya: :patriot:  :grouphug:

Dear Orate, my son and son in law were working together, son is a builder, their scaffolding collapsed. Don't know much, other than broken bones. Husband is gone but due to return soon.

OK he's come home. Son will be released and when swelling goes down, he will have surgery to repair the two bones broke in his lower leg. He has a fractured vertebrae, which they will just let heal naturally. My son is somewhat fine boned and has no extra weight on him, so I'm not surprised he had broken bones.

Son in law, a bit more padded,  just has broken collarbone and severe contusions. But he'll be fine.

So. That's the deal. Please pray surgery goes well and healing is speedy! Thanks!

They did surgery just to drain fluids. They will go back in probably after swelling subsides. Hopefully soon. He will stay for a nite or so then come home for a bit. Sure hope they give decent pain control, at least until they fix him. poor boy.

I knew there was an upside to extra padding!  Seriously though, you're Son is young and healthy.  He should heal fast and well.  Poor guy, he's had a rough few weeks, hasn't he?  Thankfully, he's got a fiance to help see him through.  On top of a loving family!  It will be alright.   :thumbsup: :grouphug:

Thank you orate, son will be in 2 more days for scans and whstnot. The first surgery went well. The second will be in 2 weeks it sounds like. Poor kid. Supposed to Marry on June 8. They are talking about a go fund me for Bill, due to no insurance. It's possible the accident could be covered through the business he was doing the job for, but not likely. The costs for ongoing care plus 2 surgeries will be astronomical. So prayers please, and thank you for those already said.

I love the GoFundMe idea.
Also - wincing as I type this - but there's always bankruptcy.  :hide:   Don't hit me!   I say that because I know 2 very decent Catholic families who had to do this due to medical bills.  One husband told mine that it didn't really affect them negatively, that was his biggest surprise.  He began building his credit back immediately and had no major issues.  I think that's because, sadly, it's pretty common.

DS was in this same situation due to astronomical medical bills before his wife died last year.  He also filed for bankruptcy, with no ill effects.  It lifted a heavy load off of him.

I have been wanting to contribute something light-hearted here, so I am posting this story about my son:

Tomas had to leave early for school today to catch a bus to a track meet. He is not very good at early and so we had a last minute rush, ending up with me dropping him off in front of the school by the bus. The rest of the team waited for him as he ran into the school to get his gym bag.

Meanwhile, I noticed his untouched protein shake still in the car. Unable to bear the thought of my son doing his events on an empty stomach, I parked the car and starting running toward the bus. When I saw him coming out of school, bag in hand, I sped up and held out the shake toward him.

The track team, being the track team, immediately noticed the resemblance to a relay race and started shouting "Hand off! Hand off!". I passed the baton, I mean shake, to Tomas successfully to the cheers of the team and he got into the bus.

I'll find out when he gets home whether he thought this was funny or if I have written a new chapter in Great Moments in Embarrassing Mom History.

Sounds like son coming home today. Hubby gonna be there but I haven't a clue how they will make this happen. The way of positioning him is very precise and will be for 2 more weeks. Both leg and back have to be precise, so kinda wondering if he will need ambulance transport. Very important that the broken bones in back and leg stay in place. Well see. I am busy getting a room ready for his bride to be, who will be practically living here.

Hopefully he will be an exemplary patient, doing what needs to be done, which is a whole lot of nothing.  I have yet to meet a man that will slide into that willingly.  Even our 2 friends who were recently in the plane crash and broke their backs refused to stay still and wear the braces as deemed necessary by their doctors.  Both have healed up nicely though.  Sip being there will help take some of the pressure off you.  Family rosary anybody?   :) :pray3: 8)

Good morning indeed. Son made it home without incident. Rode stretched out in Cherokee. Delicate business. First thing wife to be did was go in barn, find a bucket and wash his hair as he hung head off side of the bed. It was heartwarming and funny. To sit up, while protecting back, he has to be in a front/back brace. Leg up at all times. It will not touch floor until after surgery. Only uses bathroom for one thing. Otherwise it's a urinal. Too difficult to get to bathroom. Although our house layout is simple. Plus rooms are good sized. Sipkje took the night meds so we will tonight. Has to inject himself with blood thinners because of not being able to move around much. All in all, doing as well as can be. Thanks for prayers.

Good morning. Going to Church to thank my God for many blessings. Daughter staying with Bill. Her husbando who was on same scaffold, is recovering well. Still in fair amount of body pain especially knee and sternum, but all in all, doing quite well.

So, I go in my patients room and he is watching Mass. (Couldnt go of course.)Not surprising. So, I set down his thermos with coffee and ask him if he wants toast. He says no, I'm observing the eucharistic fast. God bless him.  :pray3:

Geese are such stinkers. They exile any injured member of the flock. Have a goose with an hurt leg and by golly if she isn't way out in the hinterland. She was chased out this morning and had to fly to get away from her evil persuers. They act like a bunch of fascists. Really.  let the sick, handicapped and infirm die!!! No water and just the food she can peck around her parking place. She is actually a strong bird who just may heal up. Otherwise I'd have hubby do the deed. Wait, who's the fascist here?? Lol

So are all fascists geese? That does not necessarily follow from the first proposition, but it is interesting to note that all fascists share with geese the habit of responding to perceived threats by mobbing and making loud honking noises.

So, another day. Over. What will tomorrow bring? I know. More of the same. It would be to my benefit to love the same. Don'cha think? Actually, my tasks really are a pleasure to me...except dishes. Oh, I do them, but I do not enjoy them. Dirty frying pans? I'd rather empty and rinse urinals. Ok. Gross, but it is what is, for now. You Would Not Believe The Hoops We Had To Go Through to get my poor son his stinking Norco 5mg 325. Drivers liscence, son's I mean, social security number, 2 1/2 hrs drive to get the script. Absolutely ridiculous!!!! Gone are the days the call in a med. Then, they had no clue who he was or what he was being treated for. :(

Sorry...THAT^^^^^^ belonged in go to bed.

Oh, yes, I do believe.  Went through that every couple of days for weeks before my husband went on hospice.  No more call in or electronic scripts for narcotics.  Everyone worried about addiction.  But for those in severe pain, it is a pain in the a...  uh...donkey!

Thank God the hospice doc ordered and the hospice concierge brought in all of his scripts for his various narcotics for that last seven weeks before he died. We just had to pick them up from the pharmacy.

I can't say enough good about the angels at hospice.  They certainly lifted a big burden off of my shoulders.

Good morning to all! Son going in for check. They will schedule next surgery. Man, they had his situation very screwed up at office. They were treating him as a post operative patient, because of first surgery, but he is STILL pre-op. Anyway he sees doc today. Things are still a mess regarding lack of coverage, so I continue to pray something opens up for him. At this point, physically and mentally he is ok. Hasn't gone dark on us.  :pray3:

A dreary morning here. Cold out, so may have a fire today.

Please pray God will prevent infection in son's leg. Risk increases with time, the wait before surgery is even possible. Worse case senario is infection=losing the limb. He is blessed they chose to fix it rather than remove it. The fracture is called a Pilon fracture which happens when impact forces ankle into leg bones. Causing grave damage. Rather common when people land on feet after falling a great distance. Thanks.

CD, fwiw, there are a couple of tried and true topical remedies (some use internally too, but ...) to prevent and/or treat wound infection - colloidal silver is one, even mainstream MD"s like it.  I've used for years with animal wound infections, and minor people ones :P.  The brand Mesosilver is hands down most effective, imho.

Then, there is calcium bentonite clay.  OMG that stuff is miraculous at how it draws out infection, no exaggeration. You make a poultice and bam. Yes, both can be used in conjunction with oral antibiotics.  Been there done that. 

Continued diligent prayers, my sweet friend.

Thank you, Per. I have heard about the clay, and we make our own colloidal silver, for us that is our go to for almost everything. I will look into the clay. Hope to God it will be a non issue. He should be drinking colloidal now, preventively!! Thank you. Going to start that now!

I've been working on my garden for the last few weeks.  I got my tomatoes in, cucumbers, green beans, squash, peppers, cantaloupe, watermelon, and a few herbs.  My sunflowers have lots of blooms already!  It's my first time growing them.  They're really lovely.  I set up my pole beans in between the sunflowers, so I don't have to set up a trellis.  I have a few more seeds started, which will need transplanting soon:  eggplants, oregano, and jalapeno peppers.  I planted a bunch of flowers in pots around the patio, as well as in a garden bed by the girls' bedroom window..  I don't usually do that, but this year, I figured....why not!  I used the emptied protein tubs from the cows for pots.  They work really well.  I tried planting some potatoes in them, too.  The plants grew beautifully, but I don't think I made any potatoes :/  I just dug one of the pots out, and there was nothing, but roots =(  Maybe I planted at the wrong time.  It was my first time trying them, so I'm not familiar with when/how to do them.  I will pick my last crop of spinach and kale later today.  The heat is really picking up down here, so I don't think they'll have any more to give.

Orate  you picture is so cute. I do love to watch the gosling and the way the geese protect them at all times. The other night, still light, I went to look in the nesting box and mom had a wing over here goslings. One baby had head popped out between wing and body. I just saw a  little yellow face and shiny black eyes looking right at my eyes. Way too cute!

Holy Sunday to you! Hope ya'll enjoy your Sunday. If you can, please remember to say a prayer for  son. Getting restless and having tough time fighting the darkside. Still...lots to be thankful for and this fight is only for a time. He'll always have something to point at and say....that was my all time low,, He's saying rosary  with future DIL,  reading good books. It's the total bed rest that's killing him. He was the handspring king, the grill master, the refreshment coach  ;). Never picked up the art of laying around. When it's required it's harder than by choice.

Guess I will be staying back. Caregiver for Bill backed out due to flu! So...say a prayer for me. Was tempted to go, but risk too high. Daughter would help if he fell, but she is the one with flu. Double jeopardy here...fall/flu.

Good morning. Sunshine aplenty! Hubby working furiously on garage sophets ( spelling?).  Son can hardly stand to look out and watch, because dad is no builder. Dad can do the job, just not how son would. I've noticed when son gets up he now takes a different path to the bathroom so as not to pass kitchen window, lol. For a builder, having an unskilled builder come in and finish one of your projects, well, it's like if you finishing a drawing begun by an artist!

EPISTLE Rom. 11:33-36
O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him? For of him, and by him, and in him, are all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.

GOSPEL Matt. 28:18-20
At that time, Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: "All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. Going therefore, teach ye all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world."

So......this.....

Popped my meds. No water by my bed. Meds dissolving. I spy a mug in the little bathroom. About 1/3 inch water in bottom of cup. So, a smart person would dump it, get fresh water. Ohhhh no. I drink what's in the cup. Quickly, I  discover it was the peroxide hubby used to soak his dentures. Ewwwwww. But here's the kicker. Did the same %#$@ thing 10 years ago. Different house. Same dentures.

Good morning everyone.

Wonderful son-in-law, grandson and son cleaned out my garage yesterday.  Got rid of all the electronic stuff that my husband had collected from his workplace trash in order to recycle it.  They got $150 for all of it.  I told them to keep it for doing the heavy cleaning.

Unfortunately/fortunately,  now I have a living room full of books (mostly good traditional Catholic ones) to put away.  They'd been sitting in the garage since we moved in a year and a half ago.  DD will be helping me sort and put them on my shelves.  Not looking forward to the bending and heavy lifting--arthritic back and all--but it needs to get done while my daughter is off from work today.

I must remind myself that suffering is good for the soul!   ;)

Wow, Orate!!! Now, that's progress. We will be starting process of turning the farm over to oldest son. Getting too old to manage everything. Losing steam, but still want to live and do things here. Doing a land contract, no interest and little down payment. On the market, we can get double or triple what we are selling it to him for. But this ensures the property stays in the family and it is properly worked. We, ourselves, bought the place on land contract, for very low price. Made major upgrades, while paying it off in 5 years. They, Bill and wife to be, will be way too poor to afford a place after marriage (due to accident) , so this suits us and suits them. Bill already has all his building materials, tools, big tools, here. So nothing will need to change. Now....if hubby let's go as he should....we will live in the little house, that is, when DD and DSIL, move out. We don't need much and always saw ourselves turning the place over to the family.

Got my books put away.  Felt like a truck ran over me by the time we were done.  Somewhat better after 12 hours of sleep.

Carleen, always good to pass the baton to the next generation.  My mom would help us and say that she wanted to see her children enjoy their inheritance.  I've adopted the same philosophy, as I see you have.  It brings me great joy to be able to help my children.

Husband just cleaned our carpets. Lidya's sleepers were getting pretty grubby. Didn't realize how much crap the wood burner was depositing  on my carpets. Wood burner is in the basement, but the vents carry it up.

Happy Flag Day everyone!

Carpet is cleaned!  Now must wait til Saturday for furniture to be returned to its place.  That's the next time son and grandson are free at the same time.  LOL

Oh the price we pay for cleanliness--which of course, is next to Godliness.  ;)  Wonder where that saying originated?  Well let's see...

Cleanliness is next to godliness. Being clean is a sign of spiritual purity or goodness, as in Don't forget to wash your ears—cleanliness is next to godliness. This phrase was first recorded in a sermon by John Wesley in 1778, but the idea is ancient, found in Babylonian and Hebrew religious.

Good morning all! Still working out the morning kinks here. I really should get up when I open my eyes the first time, just so I can have an extra hour to unfreeze the joints! My morning miracle is movement. Lol. The next, is the miracle of coffee. Then my good hubby gets my organic full range vitamin minerals, my coQ10, and my liquid iodine, because I will forget. My memory is a bit scattered due to stroke, not terrible, but not good.

But get this.....he can't remember where he put his teeth!!!!! Been looking since last nite for his partial set and having no luck.......*gulp* would you.....*gulp* pray he finds his teeth? There, I said it! Usually when we lose something, we call the grandkids and put them on it. But, he wouldn't let me do that this time. Vanity I tell you! Pure vanity!!!!!

Carleen, you must have the rain that we had yesterday!  Today the sun is shining and the birds are singing!

Going this afternoon to see an old friend, whose baby I helped deliver 21 years ago when I myself was 7 months pregnant.  Teased her and said that I should just hop onto the bed with her and we could get both done at the same time!

She was a lovely Catholic gal and we spent some of her labor trying to figure out how we could convert the doc to Catholicism, since he was such a good man!

it's always hot and humid over here  :P.  It's been awhile since I moseyed on over to Good Morning.  Thought I'd stop in and say hello.  We've been really busy lately, so I haven't had much time to interact with the forum.  I've been researching and overhauling our school curriculum for next year.  It'll be something different that we've done before, but I am really excited about it.  I think we are all going to enjoy our new way of homeschool life.  Anyway, today and tomorrow are cleaning days.  We have some friends coming over for the 4th, so we gotta get the house all spic'n'span!  Laundry and mopping today; bathrooms and errands tomorrow.  Have a good day!

I can relate.  Sister, et al, arriving tomorrow.  Afraid to wash my hands after nature calls so that I don't dirty the sink in the bathroom!  ;)  After tomorrow, it will be back to house in its usual chaos.

But my life is full.  Deo gratias!  And I try to remember what a good friend once told me:  "An empty stall is always clean!"

When husband kissed me goodbye before heading in to work this morning, I was still snuggled up in bed.  He said, "don't do too much today.". Now, there's a highly strong chance that there was sarcasm in his voice, but far be it from me to be a disobedient wife!   So, I've already fed kids, got them started on chores, and ran my grocery errands.  I better stop and enjoy a leisurely cup of coffee, lest I over do it  ;D  :coffee:

I'm asking prayers for my peace of soul.  Preparing to try to talk to lawyer about writing a letter to my Homeowners Association about an issue that they say is my responsibility and that I believe is their responsibility.  The issue will cost in excess of $10,000.

I know it is only money, but if I have to pay, it will come straight out of my retirement, since I am a widow on fixed income.  But more than that, these conflicts cause me a great deal of anxiety if I obsess over them.

I'm looking for the Grace to trust in God and to not obsess.

Thank you all in advance.

July 13--- Embrace Your Geekness Day is a great day to be a Geek. Or, to know a Geek.

A geek is an individual who is highly intelligent, brainy and technically oriented. Geeks are at home in the world of computers, and computer systems. A geek is usually formal, studious and into his  or her technical environment, often to the exclusion of all else.

A geek is closely related to a "Nerd". A nerd however, may or may not possess technical expertise.

Some people view the term "Geek" with a negative connotation. Are they jealous of your knowledge and skills? We certainly think so.

Enjoy Embrace Your Geekness Day to the fullest. Spend plenty of time with your computer. Talk computer lingo and jargon. If you are a geek, stand tall and proud. Isn't it great to be so brilliant and gifted!?


The Origin of Embrace Your Geekness Day:
Believe it or not, Embrace Your Geekness Day is a copyrighted holiday created for fun and for profit by the good folks at Wellcat Holidays

I do believe you are right, Philomena. *sigh* I wasn't much of a brainiac. So I went with looks and athleticism.  I was a decent writer, artist, and loved biology. I had a lot of respect for the brainiacs. Was actually a bit jealous of them. The geeks back then managed to stay out of trouble. (Not sure about now.)  I wasn't unintelligent, but I came from a very unnerdy family, lol. Gotta say, the nerds and geeks spared their bodies injuries and stress. It's a better way to go if you have the brains and personality type.

Oh no, my time was spent, during summers, running, tanning, swimming, and waterskiing. During winter I would be at the ice rink, or snow shoeing. Rarely watched television. All about fun times, exercising. No persuit of academics unless I was in school. I do wish I would have lived my youth differently. :( Goes without saying, my interests were not bad, well at least the ones I mentioned ;)  but neither did they do much for me in the long run. Having kids, I delighted in their inclinations to study and learn. The pitfalls of the cheerleader/jock lifestyle are legion.

You can be a geek if you want to be.  It is a state of mind, not technical expertise.    8)

I figured out how to do images from my tablet!  Yay!

Any how, my techie son is going to help me transfer my old computer stuff to another computer, before the old one dies and I lose everything.  Had this other computer connected to the television for watching movies on Netflix and such.  But now it will replace my "business" one.

No one uses the big TV anymore.  We all watch on our other technologies now.  So switching the computers over now is no big deal.

Have a great day guys! Oh, first....good morning. Heading out to visit daughter on her BDay. Then come home and do another rain dance. Still dry as a bone :(
We have been having regular torrential downpours, and the mosquitos are horrible, along with other bugs jumping into my coffee as I sit on the steps avoiding doing what I am supposed to do.

Morning, everyone. It's time to rise & shine :)

Long ago my spiritual director admonished me on the importance of rising from bed early & heading to bed early .... Took me so long to fix my body clock & now, gone are the days when I'd stay up past 2 AM & the time has come for me to switch the lights off at 11 PM - everyday.

Good night all. :seeya:

So, I'm sitting here at the airport, waiting on a flight to California.  Husband surprised me with an anniversary trip to wine country.  We make 15 years on Thursday.  So, it's a good morning, indeed!

Carleen, I hope the wedding preparations are going well, the headaches stay away, and I will offer Mass tomorrow for you, your son and soon-to-be (very soon!) daughter-in-law.  Pray we have safe travels, please, and for the kids to do well with their grandparents.

Good morning, everyone.  Munda, have a great trip.  Carleen, I pray your headache stays away.  As a fellow headache sufferer, I can empathize and, indeed, feel your pain.

I need yesterday's inspirational quote today more than ever, so I'm letting it stand for another day.  I hate when I anticipate troubles that may or may not happen and become anxious over them.  Pray for God's light in my heart and my peace of soul.

Not a delay, exactly, but we had quite a few snafus throughout the day. First, when we arrived at the airport, bright and early for our first leg of the trip, a 6:30am flight, we found out that the second leg of our trip from Dallas to Oakland had been cancelled 15 minutes prior.  Luckily, they were able to bump us to another flight that still got us to California around the same time.  Husband had planned this whole trip out months ago.  He'd been saving his frequent flyer miles, and treated us to almost free first class flights.  Well, we weren't able to get those same seats on the flight we were moved to, and neither were we able to even able to sit next to each other.  All they had for us were two middle seats.  So, he will have to call and get some of his points refunded.  No big deal, at least we weren't delayed.  If they had not had room on the other flight, we would not have got to Oakland until almost midnight.  So, we were grateful for that.  Then, he used his rental car points to get us a car while we are here.  Originally, we flew into Oakland.  The new flight flew into San Jose.  The rental company was unable to transfer his reservation to the rental car place in San Jose, without losing all his points and having to pay full price.  Not that they had any obligation to do so, anyway.  It wasn't like they made a mistake that they needed to correct.  So, we had to find an Uber to take us to Oakland from San Jose.  We finally get to the rental place at Oakland, and the car he had originally reserved was not available, because we were late getting there.  But, they were able to provide us with something else.  We finally get to where we can just enjoy traveling together, just the two of us, and start making our way to the hotel.  It's a 3 hour drive from Oakland to Paso Robles, where we are staying.  Which turned out to be a really nice drive.  The scenery was pretty, and the company even better. It was enjoyable just to visit without a child interrupting us every few seconds ;).  We get to the hotel, get our key, and walk into our room.  Husband says, "what the heck?!  This is not the room I reserved"  I felt so bad for him!  Again, he had cashed in on his hotel points for a room with a king sized bed, and they gave us two queens, instead.  Not that it's a huge deal; it's still a very nice room.  It's just the principle, and he was already aggravated at the lack of hassle-free traveling we'd experienced so far.  He had booked the room months ago, and they gave it to someone else.  He talked to the woman at the reservation desk, but they were out of king sized rooms.  She gave him some points back.  Poor guy!  Not a single thing he paid for or reserved worked out the way he planned.  Really, we are both just happy to have this time together, and in the end, none of it is really all that big of a deal.  It was just really frustrating for him.  Plus, we had been up since 3 am, and had not had anything to eat besides the snack they gave us on the plane.  But, like I told him, we made memories yesterday, and it'll make for a good story to tell the kids when we get home.

Our evening panned out much better.  We ended up going to a Byzantine Vespers and Liturgy last night, for the vigil of the Assumption (or, Dormition, as they say it).  It was really beautiful.  We've never attended one before.  I've been wanting to go for awhile now.  And, since there were no Latin Masses anywhere near us, it was either that or the local NO....no brainer, right?!  Then, we went out for pizza, which was delicious.  And, today is a new day.  Hopefully his plans fall into place a little better ;)

I had to look that up ;)  We aren't in Napa Valley.  We're in Paso Robles, which has fantastic wine, but is not quite as well known.  So, it's less crowded.  Yesterday we did an off-road jeep jeep tour.  It ended up being a private tour, because we were the only ones who booked the tour for the day; we got lucky there.  We did 3 wineries and an olive oil farm.  It was awesome!  The landscape is gorgeous, and the weather is even nicer.  Today, we're branching out on our own, and doing a couple more wineries and a distillery.  The city is very quaint, and most of the wineries are smaller, family operated vineyards.  Great place to visit!

(She goes to the local Community College.)  Seems so quiet now without any of my men around.  To top it off my 44th Wedding Anniversary is approaching.  It will be my first since DH died.  Missing him so much.  But, Our Lord is good and I'm as well as I can be.  So thanks be to God.

I have grandchildren visiting so my morning involved an encounter with my somewhat non-verbal toddler grandson.  We overcame our communication difficulties by growling at each other.  He did end up shooting me with an invisible weapon but it was done in a friendly way.  I obliged by being dramatically wounded.  I didn't have time to die completely because I had to put in a load of laundry.

NATIONAL  NO RHYME (NOR REASON) DAY

September is filled with many reasons to celebrate and some of the celebrations have "no rhyme or reason".

National No Rhyme (Nor Reason) Day, observed annually on September 1, actually celebrates words in the English language which do not rhyme with any other words.  Also known as refractory rhymes, these are words that poets try to avoid using in verse.

Some unrhymable words in the English language include:

Orange
Month
Silver
Spirit
Chimney
Purple
Woman

HOW TO OBSERVE

Make a list of words that you believe cannot be rhymed, and check if you are correct. Use #NoRhymeNorReasonDay to post on social media.

HISTORY

Our research was unable to find the origin of National No Rhyme (Nor Reason) Day.

Oh, and the pots on. Least I could do seeing I'm right here! Hope you like Sumatra. Low acid. Cheers. Now get out there and work. In your gardens or mowing. We all know that's what we do on a day off....even labor day!

Oh, speaking of food.....you would not believe the food around here. No grilling today! The wedding leftovers from the Mexican food bar are fantastic. God bless the cooks. That would be Sip, Mom, siblings.

Today is PKD Awareness Day

What is PKD?

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a chronic, genetic disease causing uncontrolled growth of fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys, often leading to kidney failure. With 600,000 Americans and millions worldwide living with PKD today, chances are high that you know someone with the disease,  including yours truly.

Oh my goodness, Orate! That sounds like a very serious disease! How are you doing with this?  :pray3:

I am blessed that I and my family have Type 2 Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease.  Those with Type 1 are usually on dialysis by age 50.  My kidney function has decreased significantly but is stable.  I'm hoping for another 5 years before dialysis or transplant.  (I am 64.)

This is a family disease.  My mom died of something entirely different at age 72 and never even went on dialysis. 

My brother just started dialysis at one month prior to his 70th birthday.

My sister has much better kidney function than I at age 68.

Two of my children have the disease.  One definitely does not, meaning that her kids, my four grandchildren, do NOT have it.  Thanks be to God!

My youngest 3 have not yet been tested.  In the absence of symptoms, it is recommended not to test due to insurance issues.

It is my most serious health problem, but it is the one that currently affects my life the least...quarterly blood tests and doctor's visits.  I am a train wreck on paper.  This is why I fully expected my DH to outlive me as prior to the cancer he was the picture of health.

Since yesterday was PKD Awareness Day, I am happy to try to educate others a little about the disease.  It is fairly common and a lot more people are affected by it  than the many more known diseases, such as Cystic Fibrosis.  (Not that those suffering from that are any less important!)

Edited to add:  By the way, my kidneys are each the size of a football, so I have the 9 month pregnant look.  My mom used to say that she enjoyed being pregnant so much that Our Lord made her look that way for the rest of her life!  That is basically my philosophy as well!!  :) ;)

Dear Carleen,

The fact that he went into hiding means that he knows what THESE people are capable of. He probably has more to "share" with us.

Just need a closing date then I will have to get serious about packing. Much will be left here, but still plenty of packing to do! Haven't quite been at the top of my game so it may be slow going, but going we are. Really miss you guys. Such a bright spot in my day. God bless you my SD family. Keep the light on, you never know when I'll be stumbling in for coffee ;)

Thanks Orate! Sure wish He'd speak just a bit louder, to drown out the constant pounding in my thick head! Having trouble listening. Sometimes hard to tell the difference between constant migraine and constant trigeminal neuralgia. Had my trigeminal nerve nicked in a neck disection to remove a tumor, and was left with trigeminal neuralgia, type 2, which is not so much shooting electrical type pain but very much constant ache.

Yep, prayers would be good. It makes it hard to rest my head against anything, even the softest pillows. Glasses and pony tails or head bands are almost too painful to tolerate. Sometimes I have a short respite, but not very often. Hate to complain with so much more serious issue posters here have, but here I am! Complaining, lol.

Will be making first trip up north for closing and to drop a load of stuff. Then we come back here, fill a u haul for second load. Then after a few weeks pick up final load, so I'll offer it up for all my friends here. The sooner we get out the sooner Sipkje can start nesting in her new home!  She's having her spinet piano delivered this week. She doesn't have a lot of furniture, and we will be leaving them some fine pieces we won't have room for in house up north.  This farm is plenty big, with plenty of room in the attic and the lofts of both barns for us to store things, so it's not like having to totally clear out for the next owners. That helps alot.

These are dark days in the Church, but darker yet for the people who hadn't a clue what's been going on in the Church. Feel bad for them, but happy for their wake up call. This will help them be more attentive and possibly make their way to tradition and relative safety. God bless you all.

Logan just went through his seasonal manic phase, whining, drooling, pacing, howling, massive shedding, little interest in food, in other words...BREEDING SEASON!!!!!! His lady love's siren was on for about 2 weeks. She was beckoning day and nite. It was very pitiful. Logan was humiliated to be locked up in a fenced pasture with ducks and geese, but we didn't want to hear the lady next door complain about his visitations and daily dumps in her yard.  So, Logan and I are much happier now that he has once again found his mind. Keep waiting to see little Logans all around the neighborhood, but still haven't caught sight of his offspring from last year's crazy days.

My big ram looks small and much like a goat, except for his magnificent rack. Kinda looks naked and vulnerable without his beautiful wool. So much going on didn't get shearing done until 1st week of September. And they were an ornery bunch. Our shearer had to wrestle them to get cooperation, and that's never hapoened. Only thing I can figure is they too were approaching breeding season. Making them a  bit testy. Have about 7 lambs to get butchered. Gonna butcher an adult male to feed to some of our animals. They don't taste very good, but my dog and the chickens won't mind. Well, the chicken Bill gets in in a few weeks. You can throw a frozen block of meat to chickens and they will have it gone in 2 days. Many don't know chickens are carnivores too. It's somewhat costly to have an animal butchered and meat properly packaged, but so is their ordinary feed.

Ok. Going. Love you guys. Csrleen

Thanks for the update Carleen.  Is your phone number going to remain the same?  I'll be lucky if I can find the e-mail with it.  I'm so sorry about all of your head pains.  I cannot imagine living with trigeminal neuralgia as well as migraines!

I'm up and waiting for the landscapers to fix the area of my yard where they dug to replace the sump pump outflow line.  I did not end up suing over the situation but it ended up costing this poor old widow mucho dinero to fix.  And homeowner's insurance didn't cover it as it is considered maintenance!  Such is the life of a homeowner.  Always something to fix!

But God is good, and we are all generally healthy here.  My prayers for you all.  Please pray for this lowly sinner.

Than you, Orate. Nope. Phone will be different, because we'll will be 41/2 hours from here. Lots to get set up, but still waiting for closing date! Which, we expect to get right after water test results come in. %&#$ red tape, lol. Got a very good interest rate, so can't complain too much. Bill and Sip got the best rate ever, thanks to dad! 1/2 %. Can't beat that. Ipswich piano has arrived and heard lovely sounds in my living room this afternoon. Yay! Won't be long and we'look be gone, so that, plus choir in my front room will just be a memory. Letting daughters pilfer the stuff stored in attic that I really can't see a need for, though great art, books, tea pots, bsskets, and furniture. Not enough room where were going, plus, simplifying our lives. Again, who needs all that stuff anyway???

Will pm new phone number. God bless. Oh, and too bad about the damage done in your yard. Bummer. May never look the same again, huh?

QuoteFriday, Sept. 28 is National Drink Beer Day, another excuse to grab a couple of cold ones.

There are quite a few made-up holidays celebrating beer, including International Beer Day in August, and just three weeks ago we raised a pint for National Beer Lover's Day.

National Beer Day in April has some historic significance as on April 7, 1933, the sale of beer containing less than 3.2 percent alcohol was again permitted in the U.S....

Noodles come in many varieties, and National Noodle Day, which is observed each year on October 6, recognizes them all.

The word noodle derives from the German word nudel.

Noodles are made by rolling unleavened dough out and cutting into a variety of shapes.  While long, flat noodles may seem to be the most common, they come in a variety of forms, names, and textures.  Each kind of noodle will pair differently with different kinds of sauces and meals. 

Found in regions all over the world, noodles are made from a variety of flours.  In Asian cuisine, root vegetables, such as yams and potatoes, beans, rice, wheat, and buckwheat are all found in a wide assortment of noodles. Europeans make most of their pasta from durum or semolina flour, though potato noodles a enjoyed as well.

In 2002, archaeologists along the Yellow River in China found an earthenware bowl containing some 4000-year-old noodles which had been well preserved.

In Defense of Christopher Columbus the Catholic
by Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.

"The real ground for animosity against Columbus is the fact that he brought the Catholic faith to the New World. Columbus believed he was specially chosen by God to bring the Gospel to a people who were living in darkness and the shadow of death.

His Book of Prophecies is a full-scale study of the Messianic prophets of the Old Law and the teaching of Christ about the duty to proclaim the Gospel to all nations.

He was a devout Catholic attending Mass and receiving Holy Communion regularly.

He was a Franciscan Tertiary who believed, like St. Francis, that the world should be converted to Christ by prayer, preaching and peaceful means.

His Journal from August 3 to October 12, 1492 is a daily record of the historic voyage from Spain to the New Indies. Day after day, he refers to Jesus and the need for divine help. He is always asking Our Lord for the light and strength he needs to realize what God had entrusted him to do – the mission of bringing the knowledge and love of Jesus and Mary to the multitudes who had not had the Good News of salvation brought to them."

Happy Columbus Day, everyone!

Twenty-four years ago today, my dear mother died.  May she rest in peace.  I still miss you, mom!
Title: Re: Good Morning!!
Post by: Carleendiane on November 08, 2018, 09:08:49 AM
Beautiful, Orate! I miss my mom too. My dad longs to be reunited.

Coffees on. Made some expresso. Now that'll wake you up!  We have 2 acres of leaves. Had two acres. Took the lawn guys hours to get them blown, but it's done. And worth the expense. It would take forever and a day to do by hand.

My dog, Logan, is at a loss here. Poor guy. At the farm he just did what he wanted. Here, he has to be taken for runs so he can explore and get his exercise. There areally walking paths and snowmobile trails all over here. He loves that, but misses his freedom. May return him to the farm. Don't know yet, but it's a better life. Of course we would miss him, but would be happy knowing he would be free again instead of on a chain, or in the house. Though we are outside of town, it's not farm country. Closer to Lake/Resort area. Two acres, but the highway runs in front, and a thoroughfare runs behind us. Never had to worry about traffic on the farm. Miss the farm very much.

Enough about my dog. Have a great day. Really, the expresso is very good.

A great and holy Sunday to all. First Sunday of advent. A beautiful time of penance and anticipation.

Hubby went back to farm on Thursday to get a few things and remembered to pick up my Christmas decorations. Probably won't do a tree this year. He forgot the stand anyway. But I will enjoy decorating. Will do that after the 20th. Pine boughs are easy to have around here. This is pine country, being so far North. On a clear night you can see Santa packing his sled, lol. I will probably get back for a day between Christmas and New Years. Gotta have a doctor appointment. Few doctors up here and fewer that treat my conditions, so keeping my old doctor. Besides, this move is not permanent. It's for as long as dad hangs in there. I will, a God willing, move right back to my kids/grandkids as soon is my task here is done. Then I won't have to start over at my clinic. It's hard to get established with a new doc. This clinic has been with me through broken leg, knee replacements, stroke aneurysm, and on and on. They know me, they know my history.

Hopefully Bill and Sip will come down for a few days over Christmas. It is very beautiful here. A lovely sight at every turn. The river that cuts through town lengthwise, is gorgeous. This is a marina town, with ships docking and a lovely pier and lighthouse. The river spills into the great lake Huron. The town is surrounded by very large inland lakes. Mullet being the largest and is practically knocking on my back door. Not really, but about 3/4 mile away.There is a wee little village of the rich who have a home on the lake. A restauriant so exclusive you can only go with an invitation from someone in the village. Don't expect I'll ever see the inside of that joint, and have no desire to!

A truly happy Advent to the whole lot of you. Love.

I came across a lovely picture of Bill & Sip (I posted the link in the updates/health-to Bill prayer thread). They are such a lovely couple! God bless them!
I will keep them in my prayers. I love the Church, so pretty!

And I also found a you tube video of Bill's Schola, just heavenly! You are truly blessed, with such a lovely family!

Dear Christe, thank you. Can't believe you found this stuff. I didn't even know Phil Campbell posted this lovely article. The church pic is a simple side altar, the church itself is beyond lovely. My daughter took some amazing wedding pics (she is a fantastic photograper and  a soprano in the schola. ) I think what you have is a snapshot Phil may  have taken at the reception. They sang a duet at their reception that was very moving. She sings soprano and works with the women in the choir, plus she has directed choirs for years. A match made in heaven.

They are cute together. Bill is 5 '8 and Sip is over 6 foot. They both have a great sense of humor about it. Sip joined the choir before she became Catholic. Bill waited for that to happen before he asked her out. First, he said, he had to know her conversion had nothing to do with a relationship with him. They are a real hoot together. She is a master musician, and is turning into quite a farm girl!  They have so much in common. They have collaborated on several pieces of sacred music performed by their choir.  God has blessed them as they both do His work.

Thanks again. You made my day!

I am inspired to grab another cuppa coffee.

Good morning. Woke up to more snow. Going to look for a new watch band my dad can actually put on by himself. His hands are so distorted by his rheumatoid. Gonna find one that has velcro, if they make them. He is lost without his watch. It kinda orients him. He can only manage pull up, pull over clothes, shoes with velcro....really, we try to find simple solutions to his handicaps, so he can do as much as possible on his own. Poor dad. Being old is not agreeing with him. In part because it hit him so fast, so hard. Just 2 years ago he was still a gym rat. Now, he can't wrap his head around his own decline. Intellectually he gets it, but emotionally he fights it and just wants to not wake up. Wants it over. Hopefully, by God's good grace, when I get there, I will have an healthier perspective.

Getting old sucks, but if you can continue to receive the sacraments...he doesnt...it seems old people do much better. I'll see what I can do for him.

Oh, GOOD MORNING!  Don't put that cup down! It's still morning. Barely.
